“…Severe flooding, catastrophic cyclone and storm surges, increased salinity and drought, reduced agricultural production, a lack of safe drinking water, and waterlogging because of rising sea levels are some of the effects of climate change in the coastal region [ 25 ]. Bangladesh is considered the country most susceptible to tropical cyclones worldwide.…”

“…Bangladesh is considered the country most susceptible to tropical cyclones worldwide. Devastating tropical cyclones have hit the deltaic nation’s coastal regions, leaving mess, destruction, and misery behind [ 25 ]. It is also considered the third most vulnerable to sea-level rise regarding the number of people affected [ 46 ].…”

“…According to Golder et al [ 48 ] and Rahaman and Rahman [ 25 ], Bangladesh’s economy primarily depends on agriculture. Consequently, a sizable fraction of the population is employed directly or indirectly in agro-based activities [ 25 ]. Declining crop yield and precarious food security are consequences of global warming.…”

“…Declining crop yield and precarious food security are consequences of global warming. Extreme temperatures, changing precipitation patterns, droughts, floods, waterlogging, and saline intrusion have severely impacted Bangladesh’s agricultural production [ 25 ]. Due to their extensive reliance on agriculture, people in low-income developing nations like Bangladesh are particularly vulnerable to the climate crisis.…”

Climate change adaptation responses among riparian settlements: A case study from Bangladesh

et al. 2022

As transition areas between aquatic ecosystems and the adjacent terrestrial ones, riparian regions are highly exposed to coastal climate hazards. This article describes how climate change and extreme weather impact vulnerable riparian communities and settlements. The analysis is done by reviewing past research and empirical case studies from riparian rural communities of the impact zone of the Sundarbans in Bangladesh, the world’s most extensive mangrove forest. The article discusses the climate-related impacts on households through a Severity Index of Vulnerability and assesses the adaptation responses they may pursue. The principal climate-related vulnerabilities and impacts due to increases in temperature, storm surges, sea flooding, and sea-level rise are seawater intrusion and riverbank erosion. Many households have adopted several autonomous reactive adaptation strategies rather than planned ones, to cope with these impacts. However, government organisations and NGOs provide less than optimal technical and financial support to households for planned and anticipatory adaptive responses. The main barriers to adaptation were the high cost of improved crop varieties, inadequate agricultural extension services, and a lack of knowledge on effective climate adaptation. The restoration of the mangrove ecosystem may increase its resilience and, among other things, make local communities less exposed. The article also presents some adaptation measures proper to reduce the climate-related vulnerability of riparian settlements.

“…The alarming weather and climate extremes are pervasive in nature, posing a huge threat to agriculture and the global food security (Duchenne-Moutien and Neetoo, 2021;Cai et al, 2016). Serious projections can be seen in literature about the impact of climate change on agricultural yield (Tabari, 2020;Rahman and Rahman, 2020;Mandal and Singha, 2020;Ziervogel and Ericksen,2010). Achieving the target of food security for all has become more challenging due to declining average size of land holding on the one hand and deterioration of natural resources such as soil quality, ground water on the other (Guha and Mandal, 2021) beside climate change upsetting agriculture (Fuglie, 2021;Muluneh et al, 2017).…”

The present study has made an attempt to explore if the area expansion under climate-resilient farming assists food security of the farmers using primary data collected from farm households in five different flood hazard zones of Assam. Though increase in total cultivated area, crop diversity index, access to irrigation and extension services, degree of flood hazardousness was associated with greater proportion of land devoted for climate-resilient farming, but the share of climate resilient crop area in total land under cultivation was meagre across the farm households in the study area. Hence, besides improving the spread of irrigation policies should focus on disseminating the knowledge of climate resilient agricultural practice and its benefits among the farmers of different landholding size by training them through enhanced extension services.

Sustainable development goal 2 (SDG-2) opined that all countries in the world must brace themselves up to end hunger and achieve food security and improve nutrition by 2030. Unfortunately, at the end of 2017, 770 million people representing 10% of the world population were still exposed to severe food insecurity. This statistic has about 1.4% residing in Northern America and Europe and almost 30% in Africa (FAO et al., 2018;Ten Berge et al., 2019). However, it is estimated that by 2050, global food demand is expected to rise by 60% compared to that of /2007(Alexandratos & Bruinsma, 2012. More so, Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is experiencing over 300% demand for food attributable to its population growth (Ten Berge et al., 2019;Van Ittersum et al., 2016). Apart from Asia, Africa is next with the highest number of undernourished people with more than 250 million people undernourished.
