Tiruchirappalli
India
Tiruchirappalli is projected to face significant climate hazards, including extreme heat and dangerous heat extremes. These conditions are expected to increase heat-related health risks. Additionally, the city will likely experience frequent heavy precipitation leading to flooding, alongside prolonged drought conditions affecting water resources and agriculture. There is also an elevated risk of arbovirus transmission, which may pose substantial public health concerns. The risk of malaria is projected to increase, further complicating health challenges in the region. Collectively, these climate risks highlight the city’s vulnerabilities and the pressing need for adaptive strategies to manage anticipated environmental and health impacts in the future.
