About Manipur SAPCC
SAPCC Overview
The available Manipur SAPCC was published in 2013 and prepared by the then Directorate of Environment, now the Department of Environment and Climate Change, as the State Nodal Agency. It organises the state’s priorities into eight missions aligned with the National Action Plan on Climate Change.
Climate profile
- Manipur's climate is strongly shaped by its hills, central valley, altitude and river systems. The Barak basin and lower western foothills are generally warmer than the central valley and surrounding hills, while western Manipur is more humid because it lies on the windward side.
- The state has a distinct monsoon season and high humidity during the rainy months. Historical analysis in Manipur SAPCC 1.0 records increases in both minimum and maximum temperatures, with night-time temperatures rising more rapidly.
- Manipur SAPCC 1.0 records substantial spatial differences in rainfall. It notes that the rainy period extended into the post-monsoon months and that some central and southern areas experienced declining rainfall while northern districts experienced increases.
Climate stress at a glance
- Manipur SAPCC 1.0 considers the different climate conditions and livelihood systems of Manipur's hills and valley.
- Loktak Lake, wetlands, forests, biodiversity, water resources and rain-fed agriculture are central to the state's adaptation context.
- It also considers shifting cultivation, bamboo and forest-based livelihoods, livestock, health, urban growth and the role of customary and local institutions in hill areas.
