Uttar Pradesh
Spans the Gangetic floodplains, dry Bundelkhand and a densely urban-industrial belt, with rainfall declining across nearly all districts (1980–2019) — Saharanpur, Shamli and Kaushambi are the only outliers — and 88% concentrated in the JJAS monsoon. District vulnerability hotspots span agriculture (Mahoba), water (Agra), forest (Mainpuri) and disaster (Balrampur), driving systemic adaptation stress.

About Uttar Pradesh SAPCC
SAPCC Overview
UPSAPCC 2.0 (2021–2030) was prepared by the Department of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (DoEF&CC) with the Directorate of Environment as nodal agency. The plan covers eight State Missions with 39 strategies and 179 actions (29% mitigation, 59% adaptation, 12% both). Total budget: ₹1,12,204.79 Cr — ₹80,981 Cr available, ₹31,305 Cr deficit (27.83% gap).
Climate profile
- Annual maximum temperature projected +1.04°C/+1.24°C near-term (2011–40); +1.75°C/+2.60°C mid-term (2041–70) under RCP 4.5/8.5.
- Annual minimum temperature projected +0.98°C/+1.20°C near-term, rising up to +5.01°C end-century under RCP 8.5.
- Annual average rainfall projected to decrease 5.37% (RCP 4.5) and 4.36% (RCP 8.5) near-term; 88% of rainfall in JJAS monsoon.
Climate stress at a glance
- All districts show declining rainfall over 1980–2019 except three outliers — Saharanpur (+3.09 mm), Shamli (+0.08 mm), Kaushambi (+1.09 mm).
- District vulnerability hotspots: Mahoba (agriculture), Agra (water), Mainpuri (forest), Siddharthnagar (energy), Bahraich (rural habitat), Aligarh (urban habitat), Badaun (health), Balrampur (disaster).
- Maharajganj records the highest annual rainfall; rainy days have progressively decreased across UP, making most districts significantly drier.
