Children and Climate Change in Bangladesh

By ICCCAD
August 31, 2014
in :  Blog, Visiting Researchers
3,796

I am conducting my research on children-focused disaster risk reduction (DRR) programs and how they enable children to reduce vulnerabilities to the climate-induced hazards like flood and cyclones. Bangladesh is a disaster-prone country due to climate change.  According to a report on DRR for Bangladesh, climate experts predict that climate-induced hazards like floods and cyclones will not only become more …

Climate induced Rural-Urban Migration in Bangladesh: Experience of migrants in Dhaka City

By ICCCAD
August 31, 2014
in :  Blog
4,462

Climate-induced rural livelihood loss and consequent rural-urban migration is a common scenario in developing countries. However, little is currently known about the dynamics of the process of climate-displaced migration and the experiences of associated migrants. My research has been an attempt to understand how poor climate-induced migrants perceive their urban conditions in hydro-geophysical and socio-economic terms.Dhaka City, the densely populated …

Reflections on ICCCAD: Samira Siddique

By ICCCAD
August 31, 2014
in :  Visiting Researchers
2,109

Unlike the alarmist mainstream media coverage of climate change, ICCCAD research looks at climate change and development practically. We don’t think of those affected by extreme floods and rising sea levels as climate change “victims,” but as climate change “warriors.” Alongside the empowerment this change of wording gives to those affected, we acknowledge that there is much to be learned …

After seven hours of road travel, including a ferry trip on the Padma water route, I arrived in Khulna, the second port city of Bangladesh. This was my second visit to Khulna.

The Eighth International Conference on CBA, Kathmandu

By ICCCAD
June 30, 2014
in :  CBA

Community-based adaptation (CBA) empowers communities to take action to address climate change based on their own decision-making processes, priorities, knowledge and needs.

Although CBA is an emerging area, many efforts are being made to develop participatory methodologies, raise awareness …
