Climate Change

The study focus on the Vidarbha region of Maharashtra State and the following study elements are targeted: (1) CO2 emission Inventory according to IPCC protocols for TPPs located in the Vidarbha region (2) CO2 dispersion modelling and Simulation (3) Impact Assessment on microclimate with reference to urban heat islands (UHI) and impact of TPP emission on ecologically fragile tiger reserves and (4) Developing RS/GIS thematic maps identifying “Climate Vulnerable areas” in the Vidarbha region considering future regional developmental planning

Major Findings

CO2 atmospheric column concentrations increased significantly (in the range of 0.9 – 1.2°C) since 2015 in the Vidarbha region.
Probable locations of Urban Heat Islands (UHIs) were identified and areas of TPP emissions impact nearby tiger reserves were mapped.
Since 1985 41.77% of total barren land has been converted to grassland and 90.49 % of forest area has been converted to grasslands in the Vidarbha.
Climate vulnerable areas were identified and developed thematic maps based on RS/GIS in the Vidarbha region.
Useful in climate resilience developmental planning in the Vidarbha region of Maharashtra state.
