Dagupan
Philippines
Dagupan is projected to face multiple climate-related hazards in the coming years. Heavy rainfall events and frequent heavy precipitation are likely to lead to increased flooding, creating risks for infrastructure and public health. Additionally, the city will experience prolonged drought conditions, posing challenges to water availability and agricultural production. The elevated risk of arbovirus transmission and malaria further raises health concerns, as changing climate patterns may contribute to the spread of these diseases. Collectively, these factors highlight the interconnected vulnerabilities that Dagupan must address to enhance climate resilience and safeguard community well-being in the future.
