Zhanjiang
China
Zhanjiang is projected to face several significant climate hazards that impact its resilience and community health. The city is expected to experience an increase in frequent heatwaves, raising concerns about heat-related illnesses and stress on energy resources. Additionally, heavy rainfall events are likely to become more intense, leading to a higher risk of flooding and associated infrastructure damage. Alongside these physical risks, Zhanjiang will face an elevated transmission risk of arboviruses, predominantly due to increased mosquito populations thriving in warmer, wetter conditions. Furthermore, the potential for malaria outbreaks is anticipated to rise as changing climate conditions may create more favorable environments for the disease's vectors. Collectively, these factors suggest a complex interplay of climate risks that could strain public health systems and require urgent attention to bolster resilience against these growing threats.
