Dandong
China
Dandong is projected to experience frequent heatwaves, which will pose a serious threat to public health, agriculture, and energy systems. These extreme temperatures could lead to increased energy demand for cooling, heightening the risk of power outages. Additionally, the city faces an increase in heavy rainfall events, raising concerns over flooding and potential damage to infrastructure and ecosystems. Heavy rains can disrupt transportation, damage homes, and overwhelm drainage systems, resulting in significant economic losses. Furthermore, this climate variability may exacerbate existing vulnerabilities, affecting food security and water supply. Planning for these anticipated climate hazards is essential to mitigating their impacts on Dandong’s community and economy. Technology-enabled solutions have not yet been documented for this city, highlighting a critical gap in addressing these emerging risks. Overall, Dandong's future climate landscape poses multifaceted challenges that require proactive strategies for resilience.
