Barquisimeto
Venezuela
Barquisimeto is projected to face severe climate hazards, including frequent heatwaves that will intensify health vulnerabilities among residents. The city will also experience a heightened risk of arbovirus transmission, potentially leading to increased outbreaks of diseases such as dengue and Zika. Furthermore, elevated malaria risks are expected due to changing climate conditions that favor the proliferation of disease-carrying mosquitoes. These interconnected climate challenges pose significant threats to public health and highlight the urgent need for effective strategies to address the increasing vulnerabilities. Ongoing research and data collection are necessary to fully understand and document the impacts of these climate risks on the community, ensuring that appropriate responses can be formulated.
