Description:
"By 2030, the number of people living in towns
and cities in Myanmar could reach 20.4 million
compared to 14.9 million in 2014. This continuous
urban population growth will influence Myanmar?s
development under the challenges of climate
change in future..."
Expanding cities and towns will emit more
greenhouse gases in future due to construction
growth and increasing demand for energy and
services.
Climate change is expected to have significant
negative impacts on urban centres in Myanmar,
including impact on urban infrastructure and
services, increased rural-urban migration,
enormous socio-economic costs, and health
implications. Unless addressed, these impacts will
impede the country?s development.
