2. Outline
Community Based Adaptation (CBA) includes the following sector;
 Agrobiodiversity
 Soil & Land Management
 Water Management
 Forestry
 Crop Yield Forecasting
 Fisheries
 Rural Livelihood
 Health

3. Why Need CBA?
Improves the uptake and sustainability of the process because communities develop a strong
sense of ownership and their priorities are met.
Enhancing communities’ awareness and understanding of climate change and uncertainty
enables them to create responsive plans and make more flexible and context-appropriate
decisions.
Embedding new knowledge and understanding into existing community structures expands and
strengthens those structures as well as institutional mechanisms.

4. Community Based Adaptation
AGROBIODIVERSITY
i. Genetically-diverse populations and
species
ii. Indigenous and locally-adapted plants
iii. Selection of crops and cultivars with
tolerance to abiotic stresses
iv. New crop varieties
v. High yield potential crop
SOIL & LAND MANAGEMENT
i. Sustainable land use management
ii. Protect soil by surface mulch
iii. Space and time such as crop rotation
iv. conserves the structure of soil for fauna and
related macrospores
v. avoiding bare soil during precipitation
season
vi. Development of buildings, housing,
economical values etc. in flood risk areas
should be restricted

5. Community Based Adaptation (CONT.)
WATER MANAGEMENT
i. Rain water harvesting
ii. Schedule irrigation
iii. Integrated water management framework
iv. Introduce billing system
v. Proper maintenance of river and other
stream
vi. Alternative irrigation system
vii. Distribution of safe drinking water
FORESTRY
i. Forest conservation
ii. Social and community based forest
iii. Ecosystem services from mangrove
restoration
iv. Law and enforcement

6. Community Based Adaptation (CONT.)
CROP YIELD FORECASTING
i. Early warning and risk management
systems
ii. Crop weather insurance
iii. Monitoring tools using systematic
meteorological observations
iv. Vulnerability assessment observes impacts
of variability and changes
v. Crop durability
FISHERIES
i. Species resistant to salinity and
temperature fluctuation
ii. Agro-aquaculture
iii. Dependency on sea food
iv. Adjusting fishing pressure to sustainable
levels
v. Setting catch limits

7. Community Based Adaptation (CONT.)
RURAL LIVELIHOODS
i. Enhancing local adaptive capacities by
linking multiple stakeholders
ii. Vocational education
iii. Handicrafts
HEALTH
i. E- health services
ii. Climate sensitive diseases
iii. Skill birth attendance in rural area
iv. Development of early warning systems for
epidemics, especially after extreme hydro-
meteorological events, such as storms and
floods
v. focused both on primary & secondary
prevention

8. Key Findings
Prepare a community for extreme weather (specially most vulnerable group)
Special health service for flood, drought and other extreme weather events
Planned infrastructure
Sustainable use of natural resource
Should not waste food in terms of luxury
Route level education
Train communities on shelter management
Search and rescue after natural disaster
Change in fishing boat infrastructure
