Homna
Bangladesh
Homna is projected to face significant climate hazards, including heavier rainfall events that may lead to widespread flooding, impacting both agriculture and infrastructure. Prolonged drought conditions are expected to intensify, creating water scarcity and affecting food production. Additionally, the city will experience an elevated risk of arboviral diseases, increasing health challenges for the population. Malaria risk is also set to rise due to changing environmental conditions. These interconnected climate risks highlight the vulnerabilities faced by the community, stressing the need for heightened awareness and preparation against the impacts of climate change. Comprehensive understanding and proactive measures are essential for addressing these vulnerabilities in order to protect public health and economic stability.
Hazard Outlook
How will Homna's projected climate hazards compare to other cities under a 3.0°C future warming scenario?
Maximum Rainfall
