Climate Change And Livelihoods Based Adaptation Experiences

More Book Details

Description of the Book:

In past two decades or so, the ‘livelihoods’ centric approaches in rural development have grown globally in a rapid manner. These are elaborated in diverse forms and framed in diverse social-ecological systems. In Bangladesh, these approaches have started to get integrated into development sectors but are also entwining with climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction where the efforts are largely grown through various demonstrative projects and interventions. These applications are now yielding interesting lessons and insights that are worth bringing into contemporary discourses and framings of policy and practices. This paper looks into some of such evidence-based lessons, particularly reflecting the agriculture sector initiatives on the ground. Findings indicate that the integration of livelihoods approaches should not just be ‘optional’ features, rather these are ‘essence’ for future success. The paper also points out that as the new post-2015 global policy framings are now moving ahead with formulating newer implementation arrangements, the new set of strategic and operational roadmaps in Bangladesh should build on these lessons.

Livelihoods-based approach inherently has a great potential to integrate climate adaptation, risk management, and pro-poor resilient development in a practical way.
