Giridih

India

Giridih is projected to face a future marked by significant climate hazards, including extreme heat and dangerous heat extremes that threaten public health. The city will experience prolonged drought conditions, adversely impacting water resources and agriculture. Additionally, a high risk of arbovirus transmission suggests potential disease outbreaks, while the elevated malaria risk further complicates health concerns. These climate vulnerabilities necessitate comprehensive assessments and planning. Unfortunately, technology-enabled climate resilience solutions have not yet been documented for Giridih. Addressing these climate hazards is critical for safeguarding the health and livelihoods of its residents as the region faces increasing climate challenges.
