Basti

India

Basti is projected to experience significant climate hazards, facing a future characterized by extreme heat and dangerous heat extremes that pose serious health risks. The city will also contend with heavy rainfall events, which can lead to flooding and infrastructure challenges. Additionally, prolonged drought conditions are anticipated, affecting both water supply and agricultural productivity. This combination of extreme weather events heightens the city's vulnerability to climate impacts, emphasizing the critical need for understanding these risks. Furthermore, technology-enabled climate resilience solutions have not yet been documented for Basti, making it essential to develop innovative strategies to tackle these pressing climate challenges effectively.
