About this publication

Overview

This working paper documents how climate change is experienced by vulnerable communities in Sindh through qualitative evidence from affected populations. It examines perceived climatic changes and their effects on livelihoods, coping and adaptation strategies, migration, marriage and family planning, access to water and food, shelter, health, workloads, education, and psychosocial well-being. The report highlights the compounding effects of poverty, gender inequality, weak services, and environmental stress and calls for stronger livelihood diversification, health and nutrition support, education, family planning, and climate-resilient development.
