Which pair of sectors is commonly addressed together in State Action Plan on Climate Change (SAPCC) adaptation planning?
Water resources and health systems
State Action Plans on Climate Change (SAPCC) are documents prepared by individual Indian states under the umbrella of the National Action Plan on Climate Change (NAPCC). Their purpose is to translate national climate missions into locally relevant adaptation and mitigation strategies, since climate impacts and vulnerabilities differ from one state to another.
Adaptation planning in a SAPCC focuses on the sectors that are most directly and immediately exposed to climate variability. Two such sectors are almost always addressed together:
These two are naturally paired because water availability and quality directly determine public-health outcomes, so Water resources and health systems is the correct combination. Other core SAPCC sectors include agriculture, forests, coastal zones and energy — but they are not the pair being asked about here.
The other options describe fields with no standard place in climate-adaptation planning: textile design and fashion marketing, information technology and space research, and heavy industry and entertainment are commercial or research activities, not the climate-vulnerable adaptation sectors that SAPCCs target.
