Pratapgarh
India
Pratapgarh is projected to face several critical climate hazards that will threaten its sustainability and resilience. Extreme heat and dangerous heat extremes are anticipated to significantly impact public health and agricultural outputs. Additionally, the city will experience heavy rainfall events that may lead to flooding and erosion, posing risks to infrastructure and community safety. Prolonged drought conditions are also expected, which will heighten water scarcity and put further pressure on local resources. The interplay of these climate challenges underscores the urgent need for comprehensive measures to address the vulnerabilities and risks associated with climate change in Pratapgarh. Given these projections, the city’s resilience will be increasingly tested in the years to come.
