The project was initiated by ADPC in 2005 with the FAO. The work focuses on four upazillas in Chapai Nowabgonj (Gomastapur and Nachole) and Noagoan (Porsha and Sapahar) districts of North West Bangladesh. The project aims to develop methodology to better understand: how the anticipated climate change would affect the livelihoods in agricultural sector; how results of climate change impact modeling can be translated into agricultural response options and livelihood adaptation practices; how these options can be locally tested and implemented in a participatory way with farmers; how to communicate the results into the agricultural and climate change community; and how the improved adaptation practices and long-lead climate forecasting can help to improve adaptive capacity of livelihoods in agriculture sector .
