Each of the area has distinct characteristics and varied livelihoods pattern. The recent climate change has made different communities of Bangladesh vulnerable to frequent disasters. The impact of climate change has also been visible at river-adjacent communities. So, enhancing community resilience is very important to make the community people capable to cope with climate change and ensure sustainable livelihoods for future. If the community people become resilient, then they can come back in their previous usual situation within very short period after any type of disaster. The Khasbarashimul community is a flood-prone community situated in Sirajganj district of Bangladesh on bank of Jamuna River with having Brahmaputra delta characteristics. Most of the community people are marginalized; and agriculture and day-labouring are the main means of their livelihood. Almost ...

Each of the area has distinct characteristics and own livelihoods pattern. The recent climate change has made different communities of Bangladesh vulnerable to frequent disasters. The impacts of climate change have also been visible at the river-adjacent communities which are being resulted through the losses by disasters and making the communities socially, economically and culturally vulnerable. Enhancing community resilience is very important to make any community capable to cope with climate change. If the community people achieve resilience capacity and have a coping mechanism, then they can come back in their usual situation by very short period after any type of disaster like flood and can minimize losses by other supporting tools that they achieve through the silencer. The Hudir Bazar is a flood-prone community situated in Lalmonirhat district of northern Bangladesh on the bank of Teesta River. Most of the community people are marginalized; and agriculture and day-laboring are the main means of their livelihoods. Almost every year, flood occurs and causes tremendous losses to their property and livelihoods. The tendency of floods has increased in last few years as anthropogenic climate change introduced in Himalaya region. For this, Teesta River and its adjacent communities are the sufferers of this impact. The study was conducted on participatory observation approach using both qualitative and quantitative research perspectives. The study identified the losses resulted from flood vulnerability and its impacts on community people's livelihoods. The study suggested importance on enhancing resilience techniques which will contribute to reduce losses at community level to make the community people more resilient to disasters specially to the flood vulnerability.

The country has a long coastal area which is frequently being affected by several types of natural disasters due to climate change. The disasters have impacted the life and livelihoods of different natural resources depending communities living in the coastal areas. The Malo is a Hindu religious traditional fishing community living at Taiabpur Village in Sarafpur Union of Dumuria Upazila of Khulna district of south-west coastal Bangladesh. Fishing is the only means of their livelihoods and the community is engaged in fishing practices inherently in rivers, estuaries and sea since more than 300 years. The study aims to examine the impacts of climate change on the livelihoods of Malo fishing community and identify the adaptation practices by them from anthropological point of views. The study has identified three types of adaptation practices by Malo fishing community to cope with the climate change and disasters. The study has suggested some recommendations for overcoming the challenges of climate change and sustain the traditional fishing livelihoods of fishing communities of south-west coastal Bangladesh.
