Very few studies have been conducted to explore the vulnerability
of women in the context of climate change. This book addresses this
absence by investigating the structure of women's livelihoods and
coping capacity in a disaster vulnerable coastal area of
Bangladesh. The research findings suggest that the distribution of
livelihood capitals of vulnerable women in rural Bangladesh is
heavily influenced by several climatic events, such as cyclones,
floods and seasonal droughts that periodically affect the region.
Women face several challenges in their livelihoods, including
vulnerability to their income, household assets, lives and health,
food security, education, water sources, sanitation and
transportation systems, because of ongoing climate change impacts.
The findings have important policy relevance for all involved in
disaster and risk management, both within Bangladesh and the
developing countries facing climate change impacts. Based on the
research findings, the book also provides recommendations to
improving the livelihoods of women in the coastal communities. This
book will appeal to academics, researchers and professionals in
environmental management, gender and development, and climate
change governance looking at the effects of and adaptation to
climate change, gender issues and natural disaster management
strategies.
