Fushun
China
Fushun is projected to face increased climate risks due to frequent heatwaves and heavy rainfall events. The intensity and duration of heatwaves are expected to rise, leading to severe heat stress on residents and infrastructure. Simultaneously, the city will experience heavier precipitation events, which can result in flooding and soil erosion, impacting agricultural productivity and water quality. The combination of these factors poses serious challenges, including strain on water resources and public health risks associated with extreme temperatures. Fushun is likely to encounter a future where both urban and rural areas are vulnerable to the ramifications of these climate hazards, underscoring the need for proactive measures to mitigate these risks. However, technology-enabled climate resilience solutions have not yet been documented for the city, leaving vulnerabilities that require attention and strategic planning.
