Guwahati: The All India People’s Science Network (AIPSN) on Monday expressed grave concern over the state action plan on climate change, as the one for the period from 2015-2020 has long expired. It sought the immediate formulation of a draft plan on climate change.
Highlighting the statement of the minister of science and technology & climate change Keshab Mahanta in the Assam legislative assembly on September 16, the AIPSN said he had presented a very grim picture of the nature of climate change and its impact on the state.
In a statement, the AIPSN said, “According to climate change projections for Assam, the mean average temperature is likely to rise by +1.7-2.2°C by mid-century compared to 1971-2000, and extreme rainfall events are likely to increase by +5 to 38%.”
