About Goa SAPCC
SAPCC Overview
Goa's SAPCC was prepared for the Department of Environment and Climate Change through the Goa State Biodiversity Board and NABARD Consultancy Services. Its preparation included departmental and stakeholder consultations under the State Level Steering Committee. Goa SAPCC connects seven applicable national missions with nine state priority sectors reflecting Goa's coastal geography, biodiversity and economy.
Climate profile
- Goa has a warm and humid tropical climate strongly influenced by the Arabian Sea and the southwest monsoon.
- Elevation rises from the coast towards the Western Ghats, producing local variation in temperature, rainfall, runoff and vegetation.
- Historical analysis in Goa SAPCC indicates rising temperatures and greater rainfall variability, including a shift from moderate rainfall towards more intense events. Its projections indicate further warming, continued rainfall uncertainty and increasing extreme-rainfall conditions.
Climate stress at a glance
- Goa's coastline, estuaries, rivers, wetlands, khazan lands and marine and terrestrial biodiversity shape its climate planning requirements.
- Sea-level rise, coastal erosion, salinity, intense rainfall and flooding are important considerations for settlements, infrastructure and ecosystems.
- Tourism, fisheries, agriculture and mining are treated as state-specific planning sectors because of their relationship with Goa's land, water and coastal resources.
