Bhubaneshwar

India

Bhubaneshwar is projected to face multiple climate hazards in the coming years. Extreme heat and dangerous heat extremes will likely become more frequent, increasing health risks for the population. The city is expected to experience heavy rainfall events, which could lead to flooding and associated infrastructural challenges. Prolonged drought conditions may also become common, impacting water availability and agricultural productivity. Additionally, increased temperatures and humidity are likely to elevate the risk of arbovirus transmission, including diseases like dengue. The malaria risk is also expected to escalate, as the changing climate may create more favorable conditions for mosquito breeding. Overall, the interplay of these climate hazards poses formidable challenges for the city's resilience and health systems, necessitating urgent attention and action for effective preparedness strategies.
