Guilin
China
Guilin is projected to face several climate hazards, impacting both the environment and community health. With frequent heatwaves expected, residents may experience heightened risks related to heat stress and heat-related illnesses. The city will face increased heavy precipitation, which could contribute to flooding and further exacerbate health challenges. Additionally, there is a concerning rise in the potential transmission of arboviruses due to the warmer climate, indicating that vector-borne diseases may become more prevalent. Furthermore, elevated malaria risk is anticipated, creating significant public health concerns. These climate hazards highlight Guilin’s vulnerabilities and indicate critical areas for attention to safeguard community well-being in response to changing climatic conditions.
