Impact of climate change in NE states
Nagaland Post | New Delhi, Dec. 16:
According to a study carried out by Indian Network of Climate Change Assessment (INCCA) to assess the impact of climate change, it has been projected that the rise in temperature in the North Eastern Region (NER) was in the range of 1.8° C to 2.1° C and increase in the mean annual rainfall in the order of 0.3% to 3% in 2030s, with respect to the 1970s.
It was projected that the increase of night-time temperature may lead to decrease in the production of rice and may affect the nutritional health of the population. Soil erosion due to increase in intensity of precipitation events may lead to an increase in occurrence of landslides, affecting agriculture activities, including tea plantations
The study also projected an overall warming, increase in precipitation with variable water yield, change in the composition of the forests, spread of Malaria in new areas and threats of its transmission for longer duration, which are likely to cause adverse impact on the lives of human beings.
