Longgang
China
Longgang is projected to experience increased risks from heavy rainfall events and frequent heavy precipitation due to climate change. These hazards are expected to lead to significant flooding, threatening critical infrastructure, local ecosystems, and community safety. The rising intensity and frequency of precipitation will heighten the city's vulnerability, increasing the likelihood of land erosion and other adverse effects. Without identified technology-enabled climate resilience solutions, these challenges underscore the need for comprehensive strategies to manage the risks associated with these climate hazards. Addressing Longgang's vulnerabilities is crucial to protect the health and safety of its inhabitants and ensure sustainable development amidst the changing climate.
Hazard Outlook
How will Longgang's projected climate hazards compare to other cities under a 3.0°C future warming scenario?
Elevation
At 6 m elevation, Longgang faces very high risk from coastal flooding and sea level rise.
Maximum Rainfall
Longgang's projected maximum rainfall of 17 mm is among the highest of all cities globally.
Longest Heatwave
Longgang may experience heatwaves lasting up to 5 days, higher than most other cities.
Heavy Rainfall Days
With 11 days of heavy rainfall expected, Longgang ranks higher than most cities for extreme precipitation events.
Maximum Temperature
Longgang's projected maximum temperature of 9.3°C is near the median of cities globally under a 3.0°C warming scenario.
Exposure Summary
Adaptation Priorities
Longgang faces high exposure to elevation, max rain and elevated exposure to heatwave, heavy rain. These areas may warrant priority attention in adaptation planning.
