About Gujarat SAPCC
SAPCC Overview
Gujarat SAPCC 2.0 was prepared by the Climate Change Department, with input from state line departments and stakeholder consultations. It updates Gujarat's climate evidence and brings together mitigation and adaptation priorities across water, agriculture, forests, biodiversity, coastal regions, disaster risk, livelihoods, health and infrastructure.
Climate profile
- Gujarat has predominantly semi-arid conditions, with very hot and dry summers and generally mild, dry winters.
- Most rainfall is received from the southwest monsoon, but its distribution varies considerably. Southern Gujarat is wetter, while Kachchh and parts of northern and western Gujarat have much drier conditions.
- The analysis in Gujarat SAPCC 2.0 identifies rising temperatures and increasing hot-day conditions. Future projections indicate further warming and changes in monsoon rainfall and extremes.
Climate stress at a glance
- Gujarat's climate is influenced by the Rann of Kachchh, the Saurashtra peninsula, the Aravalli region, extensive plains and a long Arabian Sea coastline.
- Drought and water scarcity are particularly relevant in Kachchh, Saurashtra and northern Gujarat, while southern and urban areas also experience intense rainfall and flooding.
- Coastal planning considers cyclones, shoreline change, salinity, wetlands, mangroves and marine ecosystems alongside ports, settlements and livelihoods.
