Huiyang
China
Huiyang is projected to face significant climate hazards, including frequent and severe heatwaves, which will affect public health and infrastructure. The city will also experience increased heavy rainfall events, leading to potential flooding and water management challenges. Additionally, the frequency of heavy precipitation will raise concerns about drainage and property damage. Moreover, an elevated risk of arbovirus transmission indicates potential surges in vector-borne diseases. The future scenario for Huiyang includes a higher incidence of malaria risk, compounding health issues for residents. These climate challenges will necessitate adaptive measures to promote resilience in the community and safeguard public health.
