Makassar
Indonesia
Makassar is projected to face increasing climate challenges, including frequent heatwaves and prolonged drought conditions. These hazards are likely to exacerbate health risks, notably through heightened arbovirus transmission, which promotes diseases such as dengue fever. Additionally, the incidence of malaria is expected to rise due to alterations in climate and ecological conditions conducive to mosquito proliferation. The combination of these factors poses serious threats to public health and environmental stability, making it imperative for the city to address these vulnerabilities comprehensively. The risks associated with climate change in Makassar underline the urgent need for focused assessment and planning, to ensure the safety and resilience of the community against these projected outcomes.
Hazard Outlook
How will Makassar's projected climate hazards compare to other cities under a 3.0°C future warming scenario?
Longest Heatwave
Makassar may experience heatwaves lasting up to 16 days, among the highest of all other cities.
Elevation
At 6 m elevation, Makassar faces very high risk from coastal flooding and sea level rise.
Maximum Rainfall
Makassar's projected maximum rainfall of 11 mm is higher than most cities globally.
Maximum Temperature
Makassar's projected maximum temperature of 7.9°C is lower than most cities globally under a 3.0°C warming scenario.
Heavy Rainfall Days
With 4 days of heavy rainfall expected, Makassar ranks lower than most cities for extreme precipitation events.
Exposure Summary
Adaptation Priorities
Makassar faces high exposure to heatwave, elevation and elevated exposure to max rain. These areas may warrant priority attention in adaptation planning.
