Livelihood of a household is secured if it -

has adequate and sustainable access to income and

resources

can meet basic needs (including adequate access to food,

potable water, health facilities, educational opportunities,

housing, time for community participation and social

integration)



3/21

Livelihood of a household is sustainable if it -

can cope with and recover from the stress and shocks (arise

from climate change and disaster)

can maintain its capability and assets

provide sustainable livelihood opportunities for the next

generation



4/21

Impacts of Climate Change on Development and Livelihood

Climate change (rise of temperature and erratic rainfall and

climatic events: flood, drought, salinity and sea level rise)will affect

Human systems (population, society and economy)

Agriculture: food production and nutrition

Water availability, quality and access to required water

Human health (due to water stress and various diseases) Livelihoods of the poor (assets base, livelihood options,

employment, income and well being)

Infrastructures (houses, roads, embankments andcommunication)

Ecosystems, biodiversity and resources (productivity ofland, water, fisheries, forest etc.)

Disaster preparedness

Development process, poverty alleviation/MDGs

8/21

Livelihood promotion (development-oriented programming):

diversification into agro-ecologically appropriate crops and NRM

measures (e.g. resilient crops, soil and water conservation);

creating alternative income-generating activities (e.g. activities to

develop small enterprise);

reinforcing coping strategies that are economically and environmentally

sustainable (e.g. seasonally appropriate off-farm employment);

improving on-farm storage capacity to increase the availability of buffer

stocks;improving common property management through community

participation.



9/21

Livelihood protection (risk reduction/mitigation-oriented

programming)

establishing contingency plans that can be implemented rapidly

before a significant erosion of household assets occurs;protecting household livelihood systems to prevent an erosion of

productive assets (rehabilitation/ mitigation);

detecting local capacity of changes in livelihood and food

insecurity at an early stage;protecting and improving infrastructures to enhance the long-term

viability and resilience of the communities.



10/21

Livelihood provisioning (relief-oriented programming)

provisioning livelihood supports by providing food and meeting

other essential needs to maintain nutritional levels and save lives;

promoting education and household planning initiatives on healthand nutrition;

focusing community for livelihood interventions necessary for

chronically vulnerable populations.

Community and Farm Level Adaptation

Making house resilient to cyclone/disaster

Provisioning water harvesting and distribution for the community

Raising plinth height of house, school, community places, shelter

Adopting alternative livelihood opportunities, enterprises

Probable change from Boroto Wheat/Maize or other less water needy cropcultivation to reduce the demand of water in cultivation phase

Promote/cultivate crop varieties and species of crops with

increased tolerant to salinity, f lood, drought/heat stresses



13/21

Alternative income options as a

mean of livelihood risk reduction

Hydroponics or vegetable cultivation in

floating garden as an adaptation option

Resilient Housing for enduring

cyclone/disaster

Community water harvesting and

distribution as a life saving option
