气候变化与人类活动相结合，对特别是发展中国家的民生构成重大风险。社区一级的适应对于使它们能够对气候变化的直接和间接影响作出反应至关重要。在印度Chilika泻湖渔业社区的案例研究中，重点是在社区一级了解气候变化适应情况，并通过应用可持续生计办法将其扩大到政策角度。这篇文章对研究和政策团体提出了挑战，以鼓励识别当地对农村地区气候适应性社区的负面制约和积极优势。
Climate change combined with human activities poses significant risks to people’s livelihood especially in developing countries. Adaptation at the community level is of crucial importance in enabling them to respond to the direct and indirect effects of changes in climate. In a case study of fishing communities in Chilika lagoon, India, the focus is made on understanding climate change adaptation at the community level and scaling it up into the policy perspective through application of Sustainable Livelihood Approach. This article challenges the research and policy community to encourage the identification of locally negative constraints and positive strengths toward climate resilient communities in rural areas.
