Vulnerability to Climate Change: Adaptation Strategies and Layers of Resilience - Agro-climatic analysis of Climatic Trends in Semi-Arid Tropics of India (Andhra Pradesh and Maharashtra). Research Report No. 22

Climate resources inventory using micro-regional weather data is essential to understand and prepare the strategies to cope up with climate change/vulnerability over a region. Semi-arid Tropical (SAT) regions in India are vulnerable to climate extremes and the food grain production of these regions is often affected. Therefore, to prepare viable adaptation strategies to cope with climate risks, we carried out detailed climatic analysis with respect to rainfall and temperature variability in respect of four vulnerable districts, two in Andhra Pradesh (Anantapur and Mahbubnagar) and two in Maharashtra (Akola and Solapur)...
