Perception of climate change influence communities? 

A study demonstrated the majority of participants have a clear perception about the change in climate and associated variability in temperature, rainfall, salinity and sea level, and the effect of these changes on their health since the last 10 years.

  • Dimension 1

    Limited rural awareness of climate change nuances impedes proactive preparation and response. For instance, during disasters like riverbank erosion, relocation timing may be unclear. In areas like Satkhira, alternatives to shrimp farming aren’t widely known, leading to maladaptation. Gender roles often confine women during disasters. Religious beliefs may discourage mitigation efforts. Some fail to grasp the need for localized adaptation or the limitations of traditional agriculture.

  • Access on information

    Marginalized communities face unequal access to timely climate information, including forecasts and education. This lack of accessible information hinders informed decision-making on livelihoods, resource management, and disaster preparedness. Many feel uninformed about climate impacts, exacerbated by limited digital literacy hindering access to online resources.

  • Resource constraint

    Limited local government budget for climate-resilient projects hampers critical infrastructure completion, like river embankments, leaving communities vulnerable to erosion and floods. Lack of investment exacerbates existing vulnerabilities, with households lacking savings and credit to cope with climate disruptions. Government relief post-disasters is insufficient, leading families to take high-interest loans from microcredit organizations, perpetuating a cycle of poverty and vulnerability to future climate events.

  • Limited community engagement

    Insufficient community involvement in climate adaptation decisions often leads to top-down approaches that neglect local needs. Community engagement, which values diverse perspectives and treats all members as equal partners, is crucial for integrating the views of those affected by climate change into adaptation programs. This fosters ownership of adaptive measures, builds trust, and enhances resilience to climate impacts.
