Tianjin
China
Tianjin is projected to face significant climate hazards that include extreme heat and dangerous heat extremes. The city will experience more frequent heatwaves, posing serious risks to public health, infrastructure, and overall economic stability. As temperatures rise, these heat-related challenges are expected to exacerbate existing vulnerabilities, particularly for susceptible populations. Without effective adaptation strategies, the impact of heat events could hinder development and compromise safety. In light of these projections, it becomes crucial for stakeholders to focus on understanding and addressing the risks associated with extreme heat and its implications for the city's future resilience.
Hazard Outlook
How will Tianjin's projected climate hazards compare to other cities under a 3.0°C future warming scenario?
Elevation
At 11 m elevation, Tianjin faces high risk from coastal flooding and sea level rise.
Maximum Temperature
Tianjin's projected maximum temperature of 10.0°C is higher than most cities globally under a 3.0°C warming scenario.
Heavy Rainfall Days
With 10 days of heavy rainfall expected, Tianjin ranks higher than most cities for extreme precipitation events.
Maximum Rainfall
Tianjin's projected maximum rainfall of 11 mm is higher than most cities globally.
Longest Heatwave
Tianjin may experience heatwaves lasting up to 3 days, lower than most other cities.
Exposure Summary
Adaptation Priorities
Tianjin faces high exposure to elevation and elevated exposure to max temp, heavy rain, max rain. These areas may warrant priority attention in adaptation planning.
