Ibagué

Colombia

Ibagué is projected to face significant climate hazards, including frequent heavy precipitation and an elevated risk of malaria. The increase in intense rainfall is likely to contribute to flooding, affecting infrastructure and the overall community wellbeing. Moreover, as water accumulates in various areas due to these precipitation events, the city will experience heightened vulnerabilities regarding public health, particularly concerning the transmission of malaria. With rising mosquito populations feeding on stagnant water, there is a risk of deterioration in the health standards within the population. It is essential for governance and urban planning to consider these projected climate impacts to develop holistic approaches that enhance resilience. While our research has not yet identified technology-enabled solutions to address these challenges for Ibagué, the need for adaptive strategies to mitigate risks and safeguard community health is paramount as the region navigates its climate future.
