Garut
Indonesia
Garut is projected to face significant climate challenges as it experiences frequent heatwaves that will affect the thermal comfort and health of the local population. These heightened temperatures are expected to exacerbate existing health issues, particularly among vulnerable groups. Additionally, the city will encounter heavy rainfall events, leading to increased flooding risks and potential infrastructure damage. Such intensified precipitation patterns will strain local resources and management systems. Moreover, rising temperatures and erratic weather are associated with an elevated risk of malaria outbreaks, posing serious public health concerns. With changing climatic conditions, the interaction of these hazards could result in compounded vulnerabilities, making it increasingly challenging to ensure community resilience. Addressing these climate risk indicators will be crucial for planning and response strategies amidst a future where these challenges become more pronounced.
