About Delhi SAPCC
SAPCC Overview
The Delhi SAPCC was prepared under the Department of Environment, Government of NCT of Delhi. It was developed through consultations with line departments, government agencies, technical experts and participation from academic, research and civil-society organisations. Delhi SAPCC 2.0 covers energy and power, water, forests and biodiversity, health, transport, urban planning, agriculture and horticulture, and Mission for strategic knowledge.
Climate profile
- Delhi has a semi-arid climate characterized by hot summers, a distinct monsoon season, and cool to moderate winters.
- Most rainfall occurs during the monsoon months. Heavy rainfall can contribute to urban flooding, while dust storms are common during summer.
- The climate analysis indicates continued warming and changes in rainfall patterns, with implications for heat, water availability, drainage, and urban flooding.
Climate stress at a glance
- Delhi's physical setting is shaped by the Delhi Ridge, an extension of the Aravalli system, and the Yamuna River and its floodplain.
- Its dense urban form connects heat, air quality, energy demand, transport, water supply, drainage, and green-space management.
- The SAPCC uses climate projections and sector-specific vulnerability assessments to identify mitigation and adaptation priorities for Delhi.
