Household vulnerability to weather shocks and changing climatic
conditions has become a major concern in developing countries. Yet
the empirical evidence remains limited on the impact that changing
environmental conditions have on households. This book explores
climate change adaptation using a social resilience approach. The
book is based on primary data from the Sundarbans, a densely
populated area located across parts of Bangladesh and India (West
Bengal) which is highly vulnerable to extreme weather events and
climate change. The focus is on assessing how households are
affected by cyclones: whether they are able to cope with, adapt to
and recover from events and changes; whether they are warned ahead
of time; whether they benefit from government safety nets and other
social programs; and finally whether they are driven to either
temporary or permanent migration. This assessment leads to a better
understanding of how exposure to an area of climate change
vulnerability and risk affects and shapes human responses.
