Tripura
A small north-eastern state surrounded on three sides by Bangladesh, with population 3.674 Million (Census 2011), running on rain-fed agriculture and forest-based livelihoods. Per-capita energy consumption is just 514 kWh against the national 1,181 kWh; forest carbon sink stands at 76.06 MT. Erratic rainfall, monsoon variability, landslide-prone hills and biodiversity stress in subtropical forests shape exposure.

About Tripura SAPCC
SAPCC Overview
Tripura's SAPCC 2.0 (2021–2030) updates the first SAPCC under MoEFCC's revised framework, prepared for the period 2021–2030 against IPCC AR5 vulnerability methodology. It covers eight state sectors/missions aligned with NAPCC (PDF p.23), with 83 prioritised actions (44 adaptation, 34 mitigation, 5 both). The plan aligns with India's NDCs and SDGs, anchored in Tripura's existing institutional framework.
Climate profile
- Tripura sits in the eastern-Himalayan foothills; erratic monsoon rainfall and rising temperature trends drive heat, landslide and forest-fire risk.
- Climate vulnerability assessed against IPCC AR5 (sensitivity + adaptive capacity) under RCP 4.5/8.5 scenarios.
- Annual rainfall variability and shifting monsoon patterns threaten food grain production (peaked at 859.6 thousand tonnes in 2016–17) and traditional jhum cultivation.
Climate stress at a glance
- Per-capita energy consumption 514 kWh — less than half the all-India 1,181 kWh — reflecting low industrial base but high climate-disaster exposure.
- Forest carbon sink 76.06 MT (278.89 MT CO₂ equivalent); National Mission for a Green India focus on expanding forest cover, NTFP livelihoods and biodiversity protection.
- Population projected to grow from 3.674 Million (2011) to 4.469 Million by 2030 (ARIMA model); GSDP at current prices from ₹55,3580 Million (2019-20) to ₹1,01,1210 Million by 2030 (PDF p.36).
