Climate change impacts and women's livelihood: vulnerability in developing countries

Very few studies have been conducted to explore the vulnerability of women in the context of climate change.

This book addresses this absence by investigating the structure of women's livelihoods and coping capacity in a disaster vulnerable coastal area of Bangladesh.

The research findings suggest that the distribution of livelihood capitals of vulnerable women in rural Bangladesh is heavily influenced by several climatic events, such as cyclones, floods and seasonal droughts that periodically affect the region.
