About Tripura SAPCC
SAPCC Overview
Tripura SAPCC 2.0 updates Tripura SAPCC 1.0 for the period 2021–2030. The Department of Science, Technology and Environment is identified as the nodal agency for the revision and for coordinating implementation with line departments and other stakeholders. Tripura SAPCC 2.0 groups its priorities into adaptation and mitigation areas aligned with the National Action Plan on Climate Change, India's Nationally Determined Contributions and the Sustainable Development Goals.
Climate profile
- Tripura has a humid tropical climate shaped by five north-south hill ranges, intervening valleys and the influence of the Bay of Bengal. Annual rainfall generally ranges from about 1,922 to 2,855 mm, with approximately 60% received during the southwest monsoon from June to September.
- Analysis for 1951–2013 indicates increasing trends in both maximum and minimum temperatures. Average annual precipitation varied between about 2,338 and 2,519 mm, with decreasing trends reported for most districts but increasing trends in West Tripura and Sepahijala.
- For 2021–2050, Tripura SAPCC 2.0 projects increases in maximum and minimum temperatures under both RCP 4.5 and RCP 8.5. Annual precipitation is projected to increase by approximately 4% under RCP 4.5 and 13% under RCP 8.5, while warmer conditions, floods and changing extreme-rainfall patterns could increase climate risks.
Climate stress at a glance
- Tripura SAPCC 2.0 combines historical observations, future climate projections and sectoral vulnerability assessments to identify priorities for 2021–2030.
- Adaptation priorities cover agriculture, water, forests and the Himalayan ecosystem, health and strategic climate knowledge.
- Mitigation priorities focus on solar and other non-conventional energy, energy efficiency and sustainable habitat. Disaster management is addressed as a cross-cutting concern.
