Raiganj

India

Raiganj is projected to face severe climate hazards that pose risks to its residents and environment. Extreme heat and dangerous heat extremes are expected, significantly exacerbating health concerns. The city will experience a rise in heavy rainfall events, increasing the likelihood of flooding and waterlogged areas. Additionally, prolonged drought conditions are anticipated, threatening agricultural productivity and food security. Added to this, there is a high risk of arbovirus transmission, linking temperature rises and altered precipitation patterns to public health challenges. These multifaceted climate hazards highlight the urgent need for resilient adaptation strategies to safeguard the well-being of the community.
