Jakarta
Indonesia
Jakarta is projected to experience significant climate hazards including frequent heatwaves and prolonged drought conditions. These increasing temperatures and water scarcity are expected to create critical public health challenges. The city will also face elevated risks of arbovirus transmission, which can lead to outbreaks of diseases like dengue fever. Additionally, there is a growing concern regarding malaria exposure as environmental conditions shift. These hazards collectively contribute to the city's vulnerabilities and highlight the urgent need for strategies to address public health and environmental impacts. Without focused attention and action, Jakarta's residents may face worsening conditions that adversely affect health and livability.
Hazard Outlook
How will Jakarta's projected climate hazards compare to other cities under a 3.0°C future warming scenario?
Elevation
At 81 m elevation, Jakarta faces elevated risk from coastal flooding and sea level rise.
Maximum Temperature
Jakarta's projected maximum temperature of 8.7°C is near the median of cities globally under a 3.0°C warming scenario.
Maximum Rainfall
Jakarta's projected maximum rainfall of 8 mm is near the median of cities globally.
Longest Heatwave
Jakarta may experience heatwaves lasting up to 4 days, lower than most other cities.
Heavy Rainfall Days
With 9 days of heavy rainfall expected, Jakarta ranks lower than most cities for extreme precipitation events.
