Goa
India's smallest state with a 105 km Konkan coast rising to 1,022 m at the Western Ghats, running on tourism, fishing, mining and rain-fed agriculture. About 80% of the population lives in four coastal talukas — Bardez, Tiswadi, Mormugao and Salcete — exposing the state to sea-level rise, erratic monsoon, very-heavy rainfall events and biodiversity stress in forests and khazan lands.

About Goa SAPCC
SAPCC Overview
Goa's SAPCC v2.0 sits with the Department of Environment and Climate Change, with the Goa State Biodiversity Board (GSBB) hosting the climate-change secretariat. It aligns with India's NDCs and the SDGs over a 10-year cycle (₹2,341 Cr / about 1.1% of state budget) covering nine priority sectors, developed through consultations led by the State Level Steering Committee.
Climate profile
- Mean annual temperature up over 1°C since 1901; +2°C projected by the 2030s and +4°C by the 2080s under high emissions.
- Mean annual rainfall up 68% since 1901, but very-heavy and exceptionally-heavy rainfall events have more than doubled.
- Sea level at Mormugao rising 1.45 mm/year; heatwaves above 40°C projected beyond the 2040s.
Climate stress at a glance
- 14.73% of Goa's land lies below 15 m — much of it coastal and severely exposed to flood and SLR; Salcete, Tiswadi and Bardez are the most vulnerable talukas, with four coastal talukas holding about 80% of state population.
- Agriculture is rain-fed in a single agro-climatic zone; khazan-land livelihoods face submergence risk under projected SLR.
- Tourism, the largest economic sector, draws 3–4× the resident population — concentrating climate risk on coastal infrastructure.
