This book assesses the capacity of the rural populace in terms of
their ability to perceive a change in climatic variables and, if
so, how they react to these changes in order to minimize the
adverse effect of climate change. It evaluates the role of
education and exposure to change in physiological variables like
temperature, precipitation, etc., in forming the right perception
of climate change. While analysing livelihood diversification as a
strategy to cope with climate change concerns across geography
(districts), caste, education and the primary occupation of the
households, the book also considers factors affecting
diversification. One important aspect of well-being is consumption;
thus, by focusing on consumption changes over time and relating it
to livelihood diversification, the book makes an in-depth analysis
of the coping mechanisms. Diversification adopted in the face of
compulsion and in a situation of stagnancy may result in a range of
low productivity activities, whereas diversification as an attempt
to explore newer pathways in a vibrant context to reduce income
risks and smooth consumption can be highly beneficial. The book,
thus, focuses on job profile and occupational diversification of
the sample households, the extent of instability in occupations and
the distribution of households in terms of consumption pattern, the
inter-temporal changes in it and the determinants. The book is
useful for researchers, students in environmental studies,
policy-makers, NGOs and also the common reader who wants to
understand climate change, its effects on livelihoods and ways to
overcome the shocks. It reflects on effective policies which can
create awareness and empower people to explore opportunities for
livelihood creation so that the overall is sustained if not
improved.
