Most of them focuses on storms and floods, drought, cyclones, etc. In order to monitor these events, early warning system plays a vital role for response and emergency management. Although early warning systems exists in different countries, but to keep the systems updated, requires strengthening from time to time. In paper, we tried to assess the gaps in existing early warning systems in Cambodia so as to strengthen the system to make it more effective in an event of a disaster situation.

Additional support is needed to (i) strengthen the capacity of information providers, so they are able to produce more localised, timely and accurate climate information; and (ii) institutionalise two-way communication, between producers and endusers, so those who need it can continue to use information over time to build resilience.

Cela est lié à la qualité des produits d’information, au fait de ne pas disposer des données aux échelles appropriées et aux difficultés en matière de communication et d’interprétation des renseignements produits. Les informations climatiques doivent être axées sur le service et intégrées à la prise de décision, de l’échelon national au niveau des communautés.

An empirical social-ecological assessment was conducted to understand the prevailing factors relating to the livelihoods-based vulnerability and adaptation issues in the coastal districts of Bangladesh. The vulnerability assessment focused on the major coastal livelihoods such as small farmers, artisanal fishers, urban wage laborers and rural wage laborers and found that vulnerabilities vary in nature and intensity across these livelihood groups. The assessment findings and recommendations calls for specific policies addressing the diversity of vulnerabilities experienced by these large groups in the coastal zone. Results and analysis indicated that across these major coastal livelihood groups, vulnerabilities ar...
