Daganbhuiyan
Bangladesh
Daganbhuiyan is projected to face multiple climate hazards that threaten its future resilience. Heavy rainfall events are expected to increase, resulting in flooding and potential displacement. Coupled with this, prolonged drought conditions will lead to water scarcity and reduced agricultural yield. The city is also likely to experience higher risks of arbovirus transmission, raising concerns over diseases such as dengue fever. Additionally, the elevated risk of malaria will have significant implications for public health. These climate challenges underscore the vulnerabilities the city may encounter as it adapts to a changing climate, emphasizing the need for comprehensive strategies to address these risks effectively.
Hazard Outlook
How will Daganbhuiyan's projected climate hazards compare to other cities under a 3.0°C future warming scenario?
Maximum Rainfall
