Risks and adaptation strategies for climate change: A community-based assessment study in the chittagong hill tracts of Bangladesh

Abstract

The Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHTs) of Bangladesh are the most disadvantaged and vulnerable regions in the country in terms of geographical settings and almost all major development indicators, such as income, employment, poverty, health, water and sanitation, education, and access to infrastructure. The area is mainly inhabited by indigenous communities, who depend on the hill resources for their livelihoods.
