Nagaland
One of the eight north-eastern states forming the extended Eastern Himalayas (EH) — a globally fragile mountain ecosystem covering 524,190 sq km with diverse cultures and high biodiversity. The state is acutely climate-vulnerable with low development and high natural-resource dependence; NECCAP (KfW-supported, IISc-led) provides scientific inputs for sectoral adaptation across 8 missions.

About Nagaland SAPCC
SAPCC Overview
Nagaland's NSAPCC v1.0 was prepared under the Forest Department (coordinating/nodal department) with the State Steering Committee chaired by the Chief Secretary (Member Secretary: Commissioner & Secretary, Forests). The plan was supported by the North East Climate Change Adaptation Programme (NECCAP) funded by KfW with IISc Bangalore as scientific partner. It covers 8 priority sectors with multi-stakeholder consultations and field visits across multiple districts including Mokokchung, Longleng, Tuensang, Kohima, Dimapur, Peren, Wokha, Zunheboto and Kiphire.
Climate profile
- Eastern Himalayas (EH) climate vulnerability — between 82.7°E–100.31°E and 21.95°N–29.45°N — varying topography over small distances drives rapid climate-zone shifts.
- Mountain ecosystem under climate stress — biodiversity loss, water availability, agriculture and hazards projected.
- Climate change escalates existing vulnerabilities; mountain regions face poorly-accessible terrain and sparse infrastructure for adaptation.
Climate stress at a glance
- Low development levels with high natural-resource dependence — water, forest, agriculture provide life support to millions of locals and downstream populations.
- Habitat degradation (loss + fragmentation), colonisation, invasive species threaten biodiversity in fragile EH ecosystem.
- Sparsely scattered settlements and poor infrastructure limit research and assessment where most needed.
