About Mizoram SAPCC
SAPCC Overview
Mizoram SAPCC 1.0 was prepared for the 2012–2017 period. The Directorate of Science and Technology coordinated its preparation with support from GIZ and CTRAN as the knowledge partner. Its priorities and institutional arrangements relate to that implementation period and are not presented as current commitments.
Climate profile
- Mizoram is a mountainous state made up of a series of steep, generally north-south hill ranges separated by rivers and deep valleys. Its rapid changes in altitude create local climatic differences over short distances.
- Conditions range from subtropical to temperate in the higher areas. Most rain falls during the monsoon, while the non-monsoon period can produce water shortages because steep slopes limit groundwater retention and springs may weaken.
- The analysis of historical information for Aizawl in Mizoram SAPCC 1.0 records variable rainfall and a modest rise in maximum and minimum temperatures between the two decades assessed. It also acknowledges limitations in the locally available climate evidence.
Climate stress at a glance
- Mizoram is exposed to intense rainfall, cloudbursts, storms and landslides in its steep terrain.
- Forests, bamboo, biodiversity, agriculture and freshwater systems are central to livelihoods and ecological stability.
- Mizoram SAPCC 1.0 identifies soil erosion, shortened shifting-cultivation cycles, forest fire and seasonal water availability as important planning concerns.
