Flood vulnerability and adaptation to climate change in Bangladesh: A review

October 2014 · Journal of Environmental Assessment Policy and Management

Md Younus

This paper reviews recent literature on flood research in Bangladesh, focusing on that nation’s vulnerability to climate change and its ability to adapt. This review reveals that the literature on community-based vulnerability and adaptation, and their processes and assessments in response to hazards under climate change regimes are inadequate, apart from a recent focus on assessment of the ... [Show full abstract] vulnerability of rural communities, their ability to adapt their farming methods, or the economic consequences of failure to adapt in response to extreme flood events, e.g. Younus 2012a, b; Younus and Harvey, 2013, 2014. This paper argues that an integrated assessment of rural vulnerability and community-based adaptation is needed in order to ensure sustainable changes in response to future climate change regimes in Bangladesh.

Climate change and migration: A case study from rural Bangladesh

March 2011 · Gender and Development

Katha Kartiki

Migration in response to climate change should not be seen as a failure to adapt, but as a strategy undertaken to increase household resilience. This will, however, happen when migration is planned and supported and not under distress. This article focuses on people's movements in the aftermath of cyclone Aila. It looks at factors influencing migration in five coastal villages in Bangladesh, and ... [Show full abstract] their migration experience.

Experimental test for adaptive differentiation of ginseng populations to temperature

July 2012 · Annals of Botany

Local climatic adaptation can influence species' response to climate change. If populations within a species are adapted to local climate, directional change away from mean climatic conditions may negatively affect fitness of populations throughout the species' range. Adaptive differentiation to temperature was tested for in American ginseng (Panax quinquefolius) by reciprocally transplanting ... [Show full abstract] individuals from two populations, originating at different elevations, among temperature treatments in a controlled growth chamber environment. Fitness-related traits were measured in order to test for a population × temperature treatment interaction, and key physiological and phenological traits were measured to explain population differences in response to temperature. Response to temperature treatments differed between populations, suggesting genetic differentiation of populations. However, the pattern of response of fitness-related variables generally did not suggest 'home temperature' advantage, as would be expected if populations were locally adapted to temperature alone. Failure consistently to detect a 'home temperature' advantage response suggests that adaptation to temperature is complex, and environmental and biotic factors that naturally covary with temperature in the field may be critical to understanding the nature of adaptation to temperature.
