Jiaxing
China
Jiaxing is projected to face increasing climate hazards, primarily extreme heat and heavy rainfall events. The frequency and intensity of extreme heat are expected to rise, heightening health risks, especially for vulnerable populations. Simultaneously, heavy rainfall events are likely to increase, posing significant risks of flooding, disrupting agricultural practices, and damaging vital infrastructure. This dual challenge presents compounded vulnerabilities for the city, particularly impacting public health, local economies, and transportation systems. Effective management of water resources will be crucial, especially during peak rainfall periods. Unfortunately, our research has not yet identified technology-enabled climate resilience solutions for Jiaxing, creating a critical gap in the city's preparedness for these imminent climate adversities. As climate change continues to exert pressure on urban environments, proactive adaptation strategies will be essential to mitigate the anticipated impacts and protect the community's well-being and economic stability.
Hazard Outlook
How will Jiaxing's projected climate hazards compare to other cities under a 3.0°C future warming scenario?
Elevation
At 6 m elevation, Jiaxing faces very high risk from coastal flooding and sea level rise.
Maximum Rainfall
Jiaxing's projected maximum rainfall of 17 mm is among the highest of all cities globally.
Maximum Temperature
Jiaxing's projected maximum temperature of 10.0°C is higher than most cities globally under a 3.0°C warming scenario.
Longest Heatwave
Jiaxing may experience heatwaves lasting up to 5 days, higher than most other cities.
Heavy Rainfall Days
With 10 days of heavy rainfall expected, Jiaxing ranks lower than most cities for extreme precipitation events.
Exposure Summary
Adaptation Priorities
Jiaxing faces high exposure to elevation, max rain and elevated exposure to max temp, heatwave. These areas may warrant priority attention in adaptation planning.
