Jember
Indonesia
Jember is projected to experience several climate hazards that pose significant challenges to its environmental stability and public health. The city will face heavy rainfall events and frequent heavy precipitation, leading to increased flooding risks. Coupled with prolonged drought conditions, these factors may jeopardize water resources and agriculture. Additionally, the region is expected to see a high risk of arbovirus transmission, which could result in increased disease outbreaks. The elevated malaria risk further complicates the health landscape, making communities more vulnerable to climate-related illnesses. As these hazards intensify, they will likely exacerbate existing vulnerabilities, necessitating attention to the future impacts of climate change on the area.
Hazard Outlook
How will Jember's projected climate hazards compare to other cities under a 3.0°C future warming scenario?
Heavy Rainfall Days
With 11 days of heavy rainfall expected, Jember ranks among the highest of all cities for extreme precipitation events.
Elevation
At 14 m elevation, Jember faces high risk from coastal flooding and sea level rise.
Longest Heatwave
Jember may experience heatwaves lasting up to 6 days, higher than most other cities.
Maximum Rainfall
Jember's projected maximum rainfall of 13 mm is higher than most cities globally.
Maximum Temperature
Jember's projected maximum temperature of 7.8°C is lower than most cities globally under a 3.0°C warming scenario.
Exposure Summary
Adaptation Priorities
Jember faces high exposure to heavy rain, elevation and elevated exposure to heatwave, max rain. These areas may warrant priority attention in adaptation planning.
