Under India's updated State Action Plan on Climate Change (SAPCC) for 2025, which sector received the highest budgetary allocation for climate adaptation?
Agriculture and Water Resources
State Action Plans on Climate Change (SAPCCs) are state-level documents prepared in line with the National Action Plan on Climate Change (NAPCC). Across most updated SAPCCs, the bulk of adaptation budgets is allocated to Agriculture and Water Resources — the sectors most directly exposed to climate variability (drought, irregular monsoons, heat stress, water scarcity) and the ones supporting livelihoods of the largest share of vulnerable populations. Renewable energy and transport, by contrast, are typically classified as mitigation rather than adaptation.
Hence, the correct answer is Agriculture and Water Resources.
