Itahari
Nepal
Itahari is projected to face severe climate challenges, including extreme heat and dangerous heat extremes, which will elevate health risks for inhabitants. The frequency and intensity of heavy rainfall events are expected to increase significantly, leading to potential flooding and infrastructure strain. Such conditions foster high arbovirus transmission, posing serious health threats. Additionally, elevated malaria risk is predicted due to the changing climate, which can aggravate public health issues. Overall, the combination of these climate hazards signifies a concerning future for the city, highlighting the need for strategies to manage the associated risks and vulnerabilities effectively.
