Calamities such as floods, river bank erosion, cyclone, tornado, cold waves, arsenic contamination in ground water, water logging, salinity intrusion etc. are gradually intensifying by climate change and combining risks for the coastal people in Bangladesh. Such calamity took peals less in lives but more in livelihood as agricultural land and homesteads along with other livelihood options which are banished.

The study outcomes revealed that the climate change has gradually affected the livelihood of coastal people in many aspects including losses and damage in crop cultivation, inadequacy of pure drinking water, extreme poverty, homestead land and natural assets etc. It has also generated a state of unemployment among the people of coastal communities. As a consequence, the affected people are losing their means of livelihoods and enforced to take numerous alternative means of livelihoods to cope with the adverse impact of climate change related catastrophes.
