Effects of climate extreme on life and livelihood of the Bangladeshi coastal communities
| Sectors of effects | Description of effects | Sources | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Livelihood | Food security | A decrease in rice production | Dasgupta et al. (2018) |
| Marine and inland fishing | Decrease of fishing in the Bay of Bengal, Bangladeshi coast and freshwater sources | Islam et al. (2020) | |
| Crop diversity | Decrease of crop varieties due to the intrusion of saline water and monoculture | Dasgupta et al. (2018) | |
| Migration | Forced migration from the coast to Bangladesh mainland | The residents who lost housing and agricultural land due to coastal erosion and storm surge inundation migrated to the adjacent urban city. They generally formed two types of settlement. These are: slum-dwelling within major city areas and settlement on the slope of hills | Mallick et al. (2020) |
| Forced migration to adjacent Indian regions | Sea level rise and natural hazards induced displacements found to take illegal migration to adjacent India | Bose (2013) | |
| Voluntary stay and trapped population | Fishing communities are part of the voluntary staying community or some of them are trapped | Mallick and Schanze (2020) | |
| Health | Deaths and injuries | Deaths resulting from cardio-respiratory diseases associated with high and low temperatures Deaths associated with a tropical cyclone, lightening and droughts, events | Shahid (2009) |
| Malnutrition | The reduction of food diversity leads to malnutrition rate among coastal residents | Cooper et al. (2019) | |
| Safe drinking water | Coupled rise of tide levels and frequent coastal flooding increase salinity in groundwater. Drinking of saline contaminated water increases skin diseases, hair loss, diarrhoea, gastric and high blood pressure | Rakib et al. (2020) | |
| Gender dimensions of effects | A decrease in women income, rights, less food intake and undertaking stressful social life | Reggers (2019) | |
| Climate extreme induced disease and sickness | Mosquito-borne diseases, tick-borne disease (e.g. malaria, dengue), diarrhoea, gastric and acid secretion, high blood pressure, air pollution-related mortality and morbidity | Rahman et al. (2020) | |
