This research aims to ascertain how, and what extent, livelihood resilience influences migration decisions (to migrate or not migrate) of people who live in vulnerable socio-ecological systems (SESs). To do so, first, the characteristics different SESs are determined; secondly, across analysed; finally, influence on ‘migration decision’ (i.e., is explained. The explanation based patterns, location, purpose, scope, extent migration. paper addresses these issues empirical evidence from five rural coastal communities Bangladesh. Findings show that resilient would like stay put decision differs SESs, for example, majority living salt-shrimp-dependent intended future, whereas rain-fed agriculture-dependent preferred migrate. Thus, ability therefore only dependent economic capability but also context place which live.

The contribution of biodiversity to the global economy, human survival, and welfare has been increasing significantly, but anthropogenic pressure as a threat pristine habitat followed. This study aims identify suitability, analyze change in quality from 1988 2018, investigate correlation between impact factors quality. InVEST model was used spatiotemporal individual land-use types Winike watershed. Remote sensing data were land use/land cover changes. Nine sources, their maximum distance impact, mode decay, sensitivity threats also estimated for each type. analysis illustrates that degradation watershed continuously over last three decades (1988 2018).

Therefore, this helps decision makers, particularly regarding lack on biodiversity. It further looks into conflict economic development

Abstract Sea level rise (SLR) will increase adaptation needs along low-lying coasts worldwide. Despite centuries of experience with coastal risk, knowledge about the effectiveness and feasibility societal on scale required in a warmer world remains limited. This paper contrasts end-century SLR risks under two warming scenarios, for four settlement archetypes (Urban Atoll Islands, Arctic Communities, Large Tropical Agricultural Deltas, Resource-Rich Cities). We show that be substantially beneficial to continued habitability most settlements over this century, at least until RCP8.5 median is reached. However, diverse locations worldwide limits course indicating situations where even ambitious cannot sufficiently offset failure effectively mitigate greenhouse-gas emissions.

Abstract The heavily industrialised Kanpur region is the most polluted stretch of Ganga river because excessive pollutant discharge from industries. Agricultural runoff along with climate change further adds to pollution risk in this Ganga. In paper, we analyse potential impacts and land use on water quality under hypothetical scenarios using model, QUAL2K. Water indicators Dissolved Oxygen (DO), Biochemical Demand, ammonia, nitrate, total nitrogen, organic-, inorganic- phosphorous faecal coliform are assessed for eight six cover scenarios. Eutrophic conditions observed all scenarios, implying severe aquatic life. DO identified as sensitive indicator considered, while nutrients more Increase agricultural area leads larger nutrient concentration increase built-up causes an concentration. Results study could provide valuable guidance improving Ganges future

Sea level rise will expose millions of people to increasing coastal hazards and eventual land loss. Thus, it is important understand how residents make decisions about whether when move away with exposure. Historically, non-material dimensions human decision-making have been missing from quantitative modelling migration under environmental change. Here, we use behavioural theory the concept an inherent mobility potential define individual stress thresholds, represented in tension between residential satisfaction. We further suggest that as outcome determined by psychological propensity move, levels capital act modulate, rather than determine, responses, their timing outcome. Using southwest coast Bangladesh our case study, quantify these characteristics using results a 1500 household social survey exposure index based on projections sea surface height drawn physical model. Aggregating data village level, are able identify place-specific responses; for example, locations where high associated thus may occur earlier response hazard. By advancing thresholds demonstrating complex can be usefully quantified, ability such included approaches. The empirical contribute debates immobility climate change, most appropriate adaptive responses protect multi-dimensional well-being climate-vulnerable people.
