Kushinagar
India
Kushinagar is projected to face significant climate hazards, including extreme heat and dangerous heat extremes, which will pose severe health risks to its population. Additionally, the city will experience heavy rainfall events that could lead to flooding and disrupted infrastructure. Prolonged drought conditions are also anticipated, resulting in reduced water availability and challenges for agriculture. Furthermore, there is a heightened risk of arbovirus transmission due to climate change impacts on the habitats of disease vectors. These combined climate risks will contribute to the vulnerabilities Kushinagar faces, highlighting the need for proactive measures to address these anticipated challenges.
