Project Area: e ecological systems in Arunachal Pradesh due to its physiographic condition, are fragile, complex and
vulnerable to the global impacts of climatic change. e long term analysis for trends in observed seasonal precipitation
and temperature over Arunachal Pradesh using IMD’s gridded and temperature at daily time scales show that the rise in
maximum temperature in the state is appreciably higher (0.35°C) as compared to minimum temperature (0.25°C) and
shows spatial variability in rainfall trend (increasing as well as decreasing trend). Papum Pare, Lohit and Changlang were
the three highest CO2 emitting districts during 2005 (Source: Arunachal Pradesh SAPCC). Higher population,
livestock rearing and agricultural activities in these districts are the major contributor to their higher emissions.

In Arunachal Pradesh, the Papum
Pare district has also been aected by
the changing course of Dikrong river.
e extreme rainfall events has been
caused by global warming which has
triggered a cascade of events such as
accelerated soil erosion along the hill
slopes, being devoid of forest cover.
is has increased surface run-o of
rivers and changed its water course.
