Semarang
Indonesia
Semarang is projected to encounter various climate hazards that will affect its future resilience. It faces increasing heavy rainfall events, which could lead to flooding and economic impairments. At the same time, prolonged drought conditions are expected to challenge water supply and agricultural output. These changing conditions contribute to heightened arbovirus transmission risks, posing significant public health concerns. Furthermore, the elevated malaria risk may threaten vulnerable populations, amplifying health challenges in the region. Overall, these climate risks underscore significant vulnerabilities that require attention to mainstream climate adaptation strategies in the city's planning and development processes.
