Abstract

This study identifies how climate change-induced events affect the livelihoods of haor fishers and what coping strategies are adopted by the fishing community to tackle the ongoing climate change. A number of qualitative tools such as interviews, focus group discussions and oral history were employed to collect empirical data. The vulnerabilities related to climate change included fluctuation of temperature and rainfall, frequent occurrences of natural calamities, and outbreaks of damning diseases. Fishers were found to survive initially on income through illegal fishing while enjoying relief from the government by taking an immediate loan from NGOs for any calamity. In the case of long-term strategies, improvement of physical capital, harvesting rainwater, and tree plantation around houses are found as common strategies. A number of suggestions were elicited from fishers' perceptions to confront the vulnerabilities of environmental changes effectively.
