| 167 | City of Lakewood | 54075 | USA | Lakewood | 2015 | Temperature Increase/Heatwaves | Extremely serious | Medium-term | Statewide average temperatures are projected to warm by +1.5°F to +4.5°F by 2050 under a scenario with low future emissions of heat-trapping gases, or by +3.5°F to +6.5°F with high future emissions. For later in the century, high emissions are projected to lead to continued further increases, to +5.5°F to +9.5°F. All these values are comparisons to 1971–2000 averages.

| 169 | City of Lakewood | 54075 | USA | Lakewood | 2015 | Temperature Increase/Heatwaves | Serious | Medium-term | The frequency and extent of wildfires in Colorado are projected to increase. Projections range up to a several-fold increase in area burned annually in the state; however, projections based on statistical models may become less accurate the more that temperatures and other climatic factors change. An increase in wildfires likely would lead to more destructive flooding, as burned areas are more susceptible to flooding and runoff of sedimentation and debris (The Colorado Local Resilience Project, 2015). Due to Lakewood's proximity to the mountains, this has significant implications regarding flooding. | (39.7047°, -105.0814°) | (37.09024°, -95.712891°) | |
