Jessore
Bangladesh
Jessore is projected to face significant climate hazards, primarily extreme heat, which includes dangerous heat extremes that threaten public health. Additionally, the city will experience heavy rainfall events, leading to increased flood risks, alongside prolonged drought conditions impacting water supply and agriculture. These climatic challenges will complicate food security and threaten the overall functionality of the community. Moreover, the high transmission risk of arboviruses, driven by the changing climate, will create further public health vulnerabilities. The combination of these factors will exacerbate existing challenges, necessitating urgent attention to climate resilience in the region.
