About Chhattisgarh SAPCC
SAPCC Overview
Chhattisgarh SAPCC 2.0 revises Chhattisgarh SAPCC 1.0 and was prepared by the Chhattisgarh State Centre for Climate Change under the Department of Forest and Climate Change. The revision draws on departmental consultations, climate analysis, district-level assessment and a review of experience under Chhattisgarh SAPCC 1.0. It expands the sector framework to include rural development, disaster management and women and child development alongside agriculture, forests, water, settlements, transport, energy, industry, mining and health.
Climate profile
- Chhattisgarh comprises three principal agro-climatic regions: the Chhattisgarh Plains, the Northern Hill Region and the Bastar Plateau. Much of the state has hot, moist or dry sub-humid conditions shaped by the Mahanadi Basin, plateaus, forests and hill systems.
- The southwest monsoon provides most rainfall, but its amount, timing and variability differ across the plains, northern hills and Bastar Plateau. The southern region also receives some post-monsoon rainfall.
- Historical analysis in Chhattisgarh SAPCC 2.0 identifies declining trends in pre-monsoon, monsoon and annual rainfall. Its projections indicate continued warming and changes in rainfall, with differing implications across districts and agro-climatic regions.
Climate stress at a glance
- District-level assessment helps identify how climate conditions and adaptive capacity vary across Chhattisgarh without treating every district as having the same needs.
- The revision reviews experience under the first SAPCC and connects that learning with updated sector priorities.
- State departments, technical institutions, civil society organizations, and local communities contributed to the consultation process.
