Climate Awareness and Adaptation Efficacy for Livelihood Security against Sea Level Rise in Coastal Bangladesh

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Climate Change, Human Security and Violent Conflict

Part of the book series: Hexagon Series on Human and Environmental Security and Peace ((HSHES,volume 8))

Abstract

Dealing with livelihood security in the face of future climate change requires concerted efforts from various actors including the local people. How they would respond largely depends on their adaptation efficacy, an individual’s perceived ability to initiate adaptive response. Various factors influence people’s climate adaptation efficacy including their climate awareness. People’s climate awareness is manifested through their familiarity with, perception of, and knowledge about climatic events.
