Zhenjiang
China
Zhenjiang is projected to face an increased frequency of climate hazards, particularly frequent heatwaves. As global temperatures rise, the city will experience prolonged periods of extreme heat, which can lead to serious public health challenges, especially for vulnerable populations like the elderly. The demand for cooling resources is expected to surge during these heatwaves, straining energy supply and increasing operational costs for urban infrastructure. With potential disruptions to agriculture and overall livability, these climate projections underscore the urgent need for effective adaptation strategies in the face of these challenges. However, we have not yet identified technology-enabled climate resilience solutions for Zhenjiang, indicating a critical gap in addressing the risks associated with future heat events.
Hazard Outlook
How will Zhenjiang's projected climate hazards compare to other cities under a 3.0°C future warming scenario?
Elevation
At 9 m elevation, Zhenjiang faces high risk from coastal flooding and sea level rise.
Maximum Temperature
Zhenjiang's projected maximum temperature of 9.7°C is higher than most cities globally under a 3.0°C warming scenario.
Longest Heatwave
Zhenjiang may experience heatwaves lasting up to 5 days, higher than most other cities.
Maximum Rainfall
Zhenjiang's projected maximum rainfall of 12 mm is higher than most cities globally.
Heavy Rainfall Days
With 10 days of heavy rainfall expected, Zhenjiang ranks near the median of cities for extreme precipitation events.
Exposure Summary
Adaptation Priorities
Zhenjiang faces high exposure to elevation and elevated exposure to max temp, heatwave, max rain. These areas may warrant priority attention in adaptation planning.
