The 1,030 km of Andhra Pradesh is beneficial for the state government because it offers huge opportunities for economic growth.
However, it also represents a great challenge in the form of the adverse effects of a constant rise in sea level, which is striking along the coastal belt of combined districts in the west and eastern Godavari and several other places.
The extent of land absorbed by the growing sea in these places every year is a case.
Air temperature
Now the design of the State Action Plan for Climate Change 2025-2030 (SAPCC) predicted an increase in sea levels due to global warming to about 20 cm and 62 cm by 2050 and 2100 corresponding to 1.50-2 ° C increases air temperature and cosmic administration (NASA), and National Aeronautics) National Aeronautics) (NASA), and National Aerolautic
These projections require drawing of suitable strategies to alleviate climate change, which are now considered “irreversible to the time range of living people”.
The Climate Change Cell of the Environment, Forests, Science and Technology Department of Andhra Pradesh is in the process of finaling the SAPCC; Within the Identified Coastal Landscapes, Impacting 282 Villages Within 2 Metre Elevation Along the Coastline, and that The Sea Level Rise Has Gradually Increased Around Around 3 mm Per Year along the Indian coast in recent years.
Relocation of people
Ready with the support of the National Center for Sustainable Coast Management (NCSCM) and KPMG, SAPCC Flag is the probability of shifting 0.30, 0.65 and 1.29 million people increased by sea levels, as temperatures rise by 1 °, 1.50 ° and> 2 ° C.
He considered that the sea levels along Nellore, Guntur and West Godavari will be approximately 0.20 meters in 25 years, ie by 2050, much relatively higher compared to other districts.
The rise of poverty
In addition, the regions of Delta Krishna and Godavari are expected to be highly susceptible to the increase in sea levels as a result of the constantly changing climate.
SAPCC mentions that the total area of 35,000 hectares of first -class agricultural land in Andhra Pradesh will be due to the immediate increase in sea levels, resulting in less soil resources productivity and subsequent reduction in income and poverty increase in a vulnerable coast in a pretended future.
