Climate Change Projections for Vulnerable Myanmar Region

Myanmar, one of the most vulnerable countries to climate change, needs accurate climate projections to prepare for its future. Researchers used a high-resolution model to simulate Myanmar's climate from 1981-2010, mid-century (2031-2060), and end of century (2071-2100) under different scenarios. The results show that the country will experience significant warming, with temperatures rising by up to 2.7°C by the end of the century. However, some areas, like the Dry Zone in central Myanmar, are expected to warm disproportionately, with temperatures potentially increasing by as much as 3.6°C. Additionally, parts of the country may become drier, while others experience more rainfall. These projections highlight the need for adaptation strategies to help Myanmar cope with the changing climate.
