Jiangyin
China
Jiangyin is projected to face increased climate risks due to heavy rainfall events, which are anticipated to become more intense and frequent. The city will likely experience heightened flooding and waterlogging, adversely affecting local infrastructure, health services, and economic activities. Additionally, rising sea levels will compound these challenges, placing further stress on the region's coastal systems. Soil erosion may also increase as heavy rainfall negatively impacts agricultural productivity and water quality. The interplay of these factors will exacerbate vulnerabilities related to freshwater resources, threatening both human populations and local ecosystems. Preparing for the growing impacts of heavy rainfall will require robust planning and adaptation strategies moving forward, as the city navigates the challenges posed by climate change.
Hazard Outlook
How will Jiangyin's projected climate hazards compare to other cities under a 3.0°C future warming scenario?
Elevation
At 7 m elevation, Jiangyin faces very high risk from coastal flooding and sea level rise.
Maximum Temperature
Jiangyin's projected maximum temperature of 9.7°C is higher than most cities globally under a 3.0°C warming scenario.
Maximum Rainfall
Jiangyin's projected maximum rainfall of 14 mm is higher than most cities globally.
Longest Heatwave
Jiangyin may experience heatwaves lasting up to 5 days, near the median of other cities.
Heavy Rainfall Days
With 10 days of heavy rainfall expected, Jiangyin ranks near the median of cities for extreme precipitation events.
Exposure Summary
Adaptation Priorities
