Exposure to climate variability and extremes, most particularly
drought, cyclone and flash-flood poses substantial risks to people
living in Dinajpur, Satkhira and Sunamganj districts respectively
and 6 upazilas (Ghoraghat-Birganj, Assasuni-Syamnagar and
Derai-Sunamganj sadar in orderly) of these districts were taken as
the study areas. The work summarised the trends of 9 indicators.
The statistical analysis aimed to observe the trend of seasonal
variation and natural hazards through indicators with field survey
questionnaire, focus group discussion and participatory action plan
development method to analyze the distribution of hazard occurrence
and frequency which resulting currently summer, monsoon and winter
dominant season with high abnormalities than before. Trend of
climate and water level analysed with SMRC data and community
perception results devastating temperature and rainfall condition
along with future trend of about annually 3.980C and 5.11% change
respectively. Impact of cyclone, drought and flash-flood on
people's livelihood and crop diversification were observed frequent
condition with high deterioration.
The RiUP was committed to providing environmentally sustainable
solutions to the millions of poor families in Africa-Asia whose
livelihoods depend on Renewable Natural Resource. RiUP approached
to environmental issues, including climate change, is in keeping
with the principles of sustainable development, the MDG's
(Millennium Development Goals) and DFID's. The PAPD was conducted
in Shiyalmara Pani Babosthapona Samabay Samity Ltd. at Sunamganj
district and Cchoyhara Bohumukhi Samabay Samity Ltd. at Jamalganj
upazila under Sylhet division of Bangladesh. It was found that the
community used previous knowledge and technology in current
development and it is more effective than Top-Down concept. The
Haor area, alternatively referred to as the Haor basin or the
Sylhet basin, is estimated to spread over an area between 4,450 km
and 25,000 km by experts. Faster changes in inundation are expected
at low temperature increases than of higher temperature changes.
Also shown substantial changes in rice agriculture and cropping
patterns. Reduction of increased flood hazard due to climate change
requires strengthening of flood management policies and adaptation
measures in Haor basin.
