Livelihood adaptation to climate variability andchange in drought-prone areas of Bangladesh

The impacts of climate variability and change are global concerns, but in Bangladesh, where large parts of the population are chronically exposed and vulnerable to a range of natural hazards, they are particularly critical. Within this context, FAO and the Asian Disaster Preparedness Centre (ADPC) are guiding an assessment of livelihood adaptation to climate variability and change in the drought- prone areas of Northwest Bangladesh.
