Communicating weather and climate information to smallholder farmers in resource-poor climate-vulnerable southern Somalia
Southern Somalia contends with various environmental challenges, all of which negatively impact the smallholder farmers in the region. This study highlights that the effectiveness and usability of weather and climate information can be optimized if the information is channelled through locally relevant and culturally appropriate boundary organizations and boundary spanners. Using the interviews of sixty smallholder farmers in the Gedo, Lower Juba…
Empowerment or Dependence? Questioning the Long‐Term Effectiveness of Rural Financial Services in Bangladesh
Development interventions, specifically rural financial services, seek to bring positive changes in traditional rural agrarian contexts. However, short‐sighted interventions can cause long‐term societal, environmental, and economic challenges. Drawing insights from long‐term ethnographic research on the social and economic implications of rural financial services in rural Bangladesh, this study cautions that sometimes development interventions by…
Persistent Myths
Climate change is making traditional pathways to upward mobility difficult in climate-vulnerable regions, but social understandings of these changes lag behind lived realities. Drawing on longitudinal ethnographic data from the Sundarbans mangrove forest of Bangladesh, this paper examines families’ everyday adaptations: their short-, medium-, and long-term goals and strategies to thrive in spite of climate change. We argue that strategies that em…
Ethnic identity and economic status
Are there similarities or differences in economic status between two ethnic groups in coastal India that live near one another and are exposed to environmental stressors? The study investigates this primary question in the context of two ethnic groups – one Scheduled Tribe group that is a minority and one non-tribe group that is a majority – in the Sundarbans of West Bengal in the eastern part of India. We study the economic status of the two gro…
Multidimensional Stressors Among Historically Marginalized Indigenous People in Highland Communities
Indigenous peoples living in remote, highland communities in developing nations are faced with unprecedented stressors from a variety of sources that impact their economic, social, and cultural well-being. These stressors are multidimensional and do not exist in isolation. In this paper, we examine how climate change, the COVID-19 pandemic, and pre-existing socio-economic and political marginalization intersect and impact Peru’s high-altitude ind…
Small and mid-sized cities at the centre of climate adaptation in the global South
This viewpoint draws attention to growing evidence of forced out-migration from climate-vulnerable coastal regions in the resource-constrained global South. The process of this out-migration by affected people is not linear, but rather a complex linkage of various social, economic, environmental and political factors. Most of the previous research has primarily focused on large metropolitan areas (e.g. Bogotá, Cairo, Dhaka, Johannesburg, Karachi,…
Socio-ecological disruptions in a militarized landscape
Ethnic Identity, Salience of Politics, and Democratic Participation
How does ethnic identity influence the role of politics for individuals who are vulnerable to environmental stressors of climate change in coastal India? We study this research question in the context of two ethnic groups: one Scheduled Tribe group that is a minority, and one non-tribe group that is a majority, in the Sundarbans of West Bengal, in India. In particular, we assess the salience of politics and political participation in democratic g…
Addressing precarity for peace and sustainability among refugees
In 2017, more than one million Rohingya refugees fled to Bangladesh following violent persecution by Myanmar’s military, transforming what began as a humanitarian emergency into a protracted regional crisis. Drawing on frameworks from refugee studies, intersectionality, and systems theory, this article examines the multidimensional precarity of the Rohingya experience – economic exclusion, restricted mobility, barriers to education, and contested…
The Impact of Antimicrobial Resistance and Stewardship Training Sessions on Knowledge of Healthcare Students of Wah Cantonment, Pakistan
Promoting awareness regarding antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and stewardship (AMS) is crucial as it results in treatment failures and an economic burden on a country. This study was conducted to determine the baseline knowledge of healthcare students and the impact of conducting training sessions regarding AMR and AMS on the knowledge of healthcare students. This study was conducted using a quasi-experimental design at Wah Medical College, Pakist…
Implementing Inequality
Who owns the land? Socio-cultural and economic drivers of unequal agrarian land ownership in climate-vulnerable coastal Bangladesh
In agrarian society, land is a critical resource. Not only does access to arable land increase food security and household income, it also provides resources to cope with any environmental stresses. In most cases, in the low-income developing regions land distribution is very heterogeneous. Based on empirical research in coastal Bangladesh, this article explores patterns in land ownership among the local farmers, discussing how gender, ethnicity,…
Unequal Power Relations at the Center of Social Vulnerability to Climate Change
Climate change is a global phenomenon affecting millions of people. Low-income people and communities are particularly at risk because of limited capacities to cope with climate-related stresses. Differential access to social and economic resources determines the level of adaptive potential; thus, the variations in social vulnerability to climate change. This article explores how unequal power relations influence the level of vulnerability in rur…
Characterization of corrosion mechanism and traditional soldering treatment of a composite bronze lamp from the Greco-Roman period of Egypt
This paper presents a study of treatment by soldering for a unique bronze oil lamp combined with Eros and dog figurines. In this object, there are two types of soldering; the first is ancient, used to join the three pieces together, and the other is used in conservation treatments to stop the degradation of the object. Soft solders have been a modern method of repair, with its historical use as the original joining technique demonstrating its gen…
Adaptation outcomes in climate-vulnerable locations
Adverse climate impacts present a significant challenge for the majority of the world’s population. It is especially true for smallholder farmers in coastal Bangladesh, where some adaptation initiatives appeared to be short-sighted and reproduced further inequity, poverty, and food insecurity. Based on empirical insights, this paper shows how short-sighted climate responses can adversely affect gender equity, illustrated through three adaptation …
Shrimp Farming and the Question of Land and Social Environment
Ethnic Difference at the Center of Land Struggles in the Americas
Across the world, natural resources play a critical role in shaping livelihoods among the ethnic and indigenous communities. This article highlights the struggles Garifuna in northern Honduras face regarding land ownership, despite being constitutionally recognized yet ignored by the government. For them, land struggles are also their racial struggles. Contested land ownerships are the outcomes of historical discriminations, leaving Garifuna vuln…
Considering the shrinking physical, social, and psychological spaces of Rohingya refugees in Southeast Asia
Refugees experience shrinking social, economic, political, and physical spaces at astonishing rates. However, these shrinking spaces are challenging to trace simultaneously and are rarely considered in policymaking or analysis. Using the Rohingya case study, this paper implores policy analysis to include these spaces, conceptually categorizing them into physical, social, and psychological spaces. Here we chronologize the plight of Rohingya refuge…
Educational inequality in the Kebribeyah Somali refugee camp in Ethiopia
Due to the Somali Civil War of 1991, more than 10,000 Somali refugees resettled in Kebribeyah, a town in the Somali region of Ethiopia. For nearly three decades, the local and resettled refugee communities shared the resources the region had to offer, adopted a new common cultural norm, and fostered some levels of social cohesions. It is the education sector, however, that caused social conflicts and hatred between resettled Somalis and the nativ…
Unpacking the environmental movement in megacity Dhaka
In the Global South, urban policies are heavily influenced by colonial heritages, and people often experience citizens-detached urban development initiatives. The environmental movement is seen as a new addition that might contribute to society’s efforts to achieve equal urban environmental opportunities. The geographical focus of this article is the megacity Dhaka, which is the social, political, and economic capital of Bangladesh. Unfortunately…
A lost generation
Education security exists when every child has equal access to quality education. Rohingya refugee children suffer widespread rates of education insecurity both in their home country, Myanmar and in their host country, Bangladesh. While the right to education is recognized in several human rights instruments, access to education is not ubiquitous, making the ability to achieve this right challenging for many Rohingya. Government restrictions on a…
Gender-based violence in a complex humanitarian context
Rohingya is one of the ethnic minority groups that has faced profound ethnic violence against them in their home country, Myanmar. Almost a million Rohingya have fled to Bangladesh and are currently living in extremely precarious conditions near the Myanmar–Bangladesh border. Despite the sufferings and oppressions of all Rohingya, women, in particular, have been victims of sexual violence. Using various information sources, this paper analyzes di…
Do gender differences lead to unequal access to climate adaptation strategies in an agrarian context? Perceptions from coastal Bangladesh
While people around the world are increasingly facing various climate-related stresses, women with limited resources in low income developing societies are often at a greater risk largely because of their pre-existing constraints on social, economic, political, and cultural resources and opportunities. In this paper, we investigate how gender differences influence farmers’ access to various resources that are critical for local climate adaptation…
The sustainability–peace nexus in crisis contexts
Climate Change Impacts in Coastal Bangladesh
Sea level rise, tropical cyclones, saltwater intrusion, and coastal flooding along with many other natural hazards are increasingly common in many parts of the world, and regions like coastal Bangladesh are at the frontline of these impacts. Due, in part, to the ongoing climate crisis, male members of coastal households in Bangladesh are outmigrating temporarily or permanently. Reduced farm productivity can be blamed on this to a large extent. Me…

Environmental responsibility and Rohingya refugees
In response to extreme violence by Myanmar, over one million Rohingya refugees have flooded into Bangladesh, resulting in massive scale deforestation, land erosion, farmland degradation, and destruction of animal habitat, along with the Rohingya being denied basic environmental protections. Because neither Bangladesh nor the Rohingya are responsible for this environmental calamity, a variety of environmental legal claims can be raised against Mya…

Just Sustainability in the Global South
Dhaka, the capital city of Bangladesh, accommodates 18 million people and is one of the largest megacities in the world. A large share of its population is poor and lives in informal settlements which can be called slums. In addition to precarious and unhealthy living conditions, these slum dwellers lack formal land tenure rights and therefore are subject to government-supported evictions. Slum evictions due to various urban development pressures…

Rural Accessibility, Rural Development, and Natural Disasters in Bangladesh
Rural accessibility means more than just reliable roads and cost-effective transportation networks. Rural accessibility is critical for achieving social and economic development in low-income developing countries such as Bangladesh where both rural and urban development are constrained by significant infrastructural deficiencies. It is also an important factor that determines the effects of natural disasters on these resource-constrained societie…
Impacts of Spatial Patterns of Rural and Exurban Residential Development on Agricultural Trends in the Intermountain West
In recent years, counties in the Intermountain West (Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, and Utah) have experienced rapid population growth and housing development, and much of this growth is occurring outside of urban areas. Residential development often has negative impacts on farmlands, farm viability, and environmental services provided by working landscapes. We used county-level data to identify the association between the intensity and spati…
