Nagoya
Japan
Nagoya is projected to face increased risks from heavy rainfall events as climate change continues to intensify. These events can lead to significant flooding, threatening infrastructure, transportation networks, and housing. The frequency and severity of heavy rainfall are likely to grow, potentially overwhelming drainage systems and leading to overflow. This could result in economic disruptions, health risks related to waterborne diseases, and adverse effects on local ecosystems. The city needs thorough assessments to understand these vulnerabilities better. However, there is currently a lack of documented technology-enabled climate resilience solutions specific to Nagoya. Developing effective strategies and preparedness plans will be critical for managing the impacts of future heavy rainfall events and enhancing the city's overall resilience to climate hazards.
Hazard Outlook
How will Nagoya's projected climate hazards compare to other cities under a 3.0°C future warming scenario?
Maximum Rainfall
Nagoya's projected maximum rainfall of 20 mm is among the highest of all cities globally.
Elevation
At -1 m elevation, Nagoya faces very high risk from coastal flooding and sea level rise.
Longest Heatwave
Nagoya may experience heatwaves lasting up to 6 days, higher than most other cities.
Maximum Temperature
Nagoya's projected maximum temperature of 9.4°C is near the median of cities globally under a 3.0°C warming scenario.
Heavy Rainfall Days
With 10 days of heavy rainfall expected, Nagoya ranks near the median of cities for extreme precipitation events.
Exposure Summary
Adaptation Priorities
Nagoya faces high exposure to max rain, elevation and elevated exposure to heatwave. These areas may warrant priority attention in adaptation planning.
