Climate change poses a serious threat to the residents of coastal areas in Bangladesh and both domestic and international agencies have implemented measures to adapt to this change. However, it remains uncertain as to how effective these efforts have been in making Bangladesh more resilient to climate change. A study was conducted to investigate the impact of various climate change adaptation measures on Bangladesh's ability to adapt to climate change. The study constructed a climate change adaptation index (CCAI) and applied it to 515 households in coastal districts through direct interviews to evaluate their adaptability status. The results of the study showed that the climate change projects had a moderate impact on education, finance, infrastructure, and disaster preparedness, but poor preparedness in the food and health sectors. Districts closer to the coastal areas were found to be better adapted to climate change than those farther away. The findings of the study have significant practical implications for policymakers and practitioners in identifying and directing resources toward vulnerable sectors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
