Climate Change and Livelihood: Management and Futuristic Approach
摘要
Nowadays, climate change is a global threat. Since the mid of the twentieth century, India has experienced several notable changes in its climate, including a rise in average temperature, a decrease in monsoon precipitation, an increase in extreme temperature and rainfall events, droughts, sea levels, and the intensity of severe cyclones, among other shifts in the monsoon system. This is the concluding chapter which aims to portray the climate change impacts on the livelihood and well-being of the population living in different physiographic zones of India, that is, the Himalayan region, plateau region, Gangetic plain, and coastal region. Coping with the risk of climate change, livelihood management is essential for which strategies would be in effect by institutions and local communities. Physiographic region-wise futuristic strategies have been framed and suggested by which livelihood well-being can be achieved. In the end, the limitations of the study are outlined for further exploration.
