Odisha
A 480 km Bay of Bengal coastline spanning six districts (Balasore, Bhadrak, Kendrapada, Jagatsinghpur, Puri, Ganjam) faces recurrent cyclones (Phailin 2013, Fani 2019), 30 heat-stress-prone districts where temperatures exceed 45°C, and SLR-driven inundation projected for Bhitarkanika, Chilika and Konark by 2050. Mining (28% iron-ore, 24% coal of national reserves) and agrarian dependence (70% population) compound climate-economy stress.

About Odisha SAPCC
SAPCC Overview
Odisha's Revised SAPCC Phase-II (2021–2030) updates the 2018–2023 plan and was prepared as one of India's earliest comprehensive state climate action plans. The Climate Change Cell coordinates with line departments, with technical support from the Confederation of Indian Industries (CII) for GHG inventory mapping. The plan covers twelve sectors aligned with NAPCC missions plus state-led missions on Health, Coastal & Disaster Risk Management. Total budget: ₹2,45,565 Cr.
Climate profile
- Cyclone exposure on 480 km coastline (six districts); SLR projected to put Bhitarkanika, Balukhand-Konark, Chilika and Chandrabhaga at risk of permanent inundation by 2050.
- Temperatures exceed 45°C between March–June in 30–40% of districts; all 30 districts are heat-stress-prone with rising vector- and water-borne disease burden.
- Per capita CO₂ emissions 2.35 tonnes (2012, vs national 1.7) — Industry/Transport/Energy 109.77 MtCO₂e, Agriculture 25.07 MtCO₂e; LULUCF offsets -36.9 MtCO₂e.
Climate stress at a glance
- Phailin (2013) and Fani (2019) damaged 7 lines of 400 kV, 17 of 220 kV, 19 of 132 kV — exposing acute power-network vulnerability and 3.8 million consumers.
- 70% of population depends on agriculture; 39.69% of geographical area under cultivation; flood-and-drought swap impacts kharif rice and rabi pulses/oilseeds.
- 80% of livestock owned by marginal/small/landless farmers — small ruminants, poultry and aquaculture highly vulnerable to climate change.
