Andhra Pradesh
Has India's second-longest coastline, exposing the state to severe cyclones, storm surges and sea-level rise, while Rayalaseema interior districts contend with persistent drought and heat stress. The SAPCC v1.0 covers 11 sectors — agriculture, water, energy, forestry, disaster management, transport, urban, rural, tourism, health and climate-change research — across diverse agro-climatic zones from coastal alluvium to semi-arid Deccan.

About Andhra Pradesh SAPCC
SAPCC Overview
Andhra Pradesh's SAPCC v1.0 (March 2012) was prepared by the Environment Protection Training & Research Institute (EPTRI) under the Department of Environment, Forest, Science & Technology, for the pre-2014 undivided Andhra Pradesh (still including Telangana). The plan follows UNDP's Adaptation Policy Framework methodology and identifies 11 priority sectors per PDF p.19: Agriculture; Coastal Zone Management; Forestry & Biodiversity; Energy; Industries (including mining); Transportation; Health; Urban Development; Tourism; Rural Development; Research in Climate Change.
Climate profile
- Coastal districts face cyclone, storm-surge and SLR exposure; Rayalaseema interior districts face persistent drought and heat stress.
- Climate-change vulnerability assessed using AOGCMs and HadCM3 (Hadley Centre Regional Climate Model) for the state.
- Rainfall projections show anomalies in SW monsoon distribution across regions of AP for 2020s, 2050s and 2080s timelines.
Climate stress at a glance
- Vector-borne diseases rising due to changing rainfall, temperature and humidity patterns; respiratory burden growing in urban centres.
- Coastal poor face cyclone/flood risk; rural-to-urban migration due to dwindling natural water and ecological resources.
- Industrial hubs face climate vulnerability from unscientific construction, water and electricity scarcity in river basin and coastal areas.
