ActionTaken

- Climate change adaptation plan for the state.- Under the plan, there is seven point strategic plan proposed for better resource management. [4] - Problems with Apple orchards are being identified.

Himachal Pradesh

State in India

Consequences of Climate Change

- More intense rainfall in short durration causing higher changes of flooding [1]. River bed errosion and landslides increase as higher amount of water is released of water from dams [1] - Apple agriculture adversely affected due to temperature increase and chilling requirements [2] - "Disease transmission" in animals and lifestock changes [3].

Global Relevance

- A similar problem in flooding and unpredictable rainfall patterns are oberseved in multiple parts of the world. Satsuma mandarins grown in Japan face the same consequences as apples, as the glaciers retreat and temperature changes [5].
