In the first climate change hotspot, the potential is mapped

New Delhi: Report of the Indian Forest State (ISFR) has for the first time the hotspot of climate change is mapped in the country in three scenarios of future time period 2030, 2050 and 2085.
It observed that Ladakh, Jammu & Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand were treated To witness the highest temperature rise while the Andaman & Nicobar Islands, West Bengal, Goa, Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh may face this short, medium and old temperature rise.
The report on hotspots also shows that the northeastern state and the coast of Malabar above are projected to experience the highest increase in rainfall while the northeastern part of Eastern countries such as Arunachal Pradesh and Sikkim and the northwestern part of the country such as Ladakh, J & K and Himachal Pradesh projected to Experience “at least increase and sometimes even decrease” in rainfall.
The mapping of the hotspot of climate change above the state forest area was carried out by the Indian Forest Survey in collaboration with the Birl of Technology & Science (BITS) Institute (Goa Campus).
“Collaborative studies are carried out with the aim of mapping climate hotspots on forest cover in India, using computer-based projections and rainfall data for the three periods of future time,” said the Ministry of Environment.
Data for this purpose is obtained from the Meteorology Department of India (IMD).
The idea behind mapping is to ensure the effects of climate change in forests, composition of species and biodiversity related.
This will help policy makers take appropriate mitigation and adaptation steps to protect forest areas and biodiversity.
In addition, the report also shares data on carbon stock assessment through increasing or decreasing forest cover in various parts of the country.
The total carbon stock in Indian forests is estimated at 7,204 million tons.
Overall, this shows an increase of 79.4 million tons in state carbon stocks compared to the latest assessment in 2019, record an annual increase of 39.7 million tons.
This shows how the increase in forest cover will increase carbon sinks – natural tools that are important to fight climate change through carbon absorption (carbon storage processes in a collection of carbon).
