Evaluare în detaliu a riscurilor climatice pentru Cluj-Napoca: valurile de căldură sunt principalul risc, iar canalizarea veche amplifică efectele ploilor torențiale

A recent climate risk assessment for Cluj metropolitan area highlights increasing heat waves and urban flooding risks. The study reveals that heat waves are classified as a 'very high' risk, with their frequency rising faster than previous models predicted. Urban infrastructure is becoming inadequate due to extreme temperatures, affecting not only the city center but also surrounding areas. The report indicates that heavy rainfall leads to urban flooding, exacerbated by an outdated drainage system. While flooding is rated as a 'moderate' risk, it poses a greater threat to residents than river flooding. The findings will inform future climate adaptation strategies and urban planning.
