Pekalongan
Indonesia
Pekalongan is projected to face numerous climate hazards that will significantly challenge its resilience. It is expected to experience frequent heatwaves, contributing to adverse health effects among the population. Additionally, heavy rainfall events and prolonged heavy precipitation are anticipated, increasing the risk of flooding and water-related diseases. The city will also encounter prolonged drought conditions, affecting water availability for agriculture and daily use. Moreover, there is a rising concern regarding high arbovirus transmission risk, alongside an elevated malaria risk, both exacerbated by changing climatic conditions. As these hazards combine, Pekalongan will face a future where public health, infrastructure, and local ecosystems are all at heightened risk from the effects of climate change.
