Jamshedpur
India
Jamshedpur is projected to face a multitude of climate hazards that pose significant risks to its environment and public health. The city will experience extreme heat and dangerous heat extremes more frequently, leading to uncomfortable living conditions. Additionally, heavy rainfall events are anticipated, increasing the likelihood of flooding. Alongside these, prolonged drought conditions are expected, resulting in water scarcity and negative impacts on agriculture. The health of residents may be compromised due to high arbovirus transmission risks and elevated malaria risk, as climate change affects vector populations. The confluence of these hazards will challenge the city's infrastructure and ecosystem resilience, creating a pressing need for climate adaptation strategies to mitigate future vulnerabilities.
