A Place for Environmental Refugees: Adaptation to Climate and Environmental Change in South Asia

This thesis investigates climate-related environmental change as a distinct threat to the low-lying coastal zones of South Asia, particularly among vulnerable populations in Bangladesh and Maldives. With the objective of identifying adaptive strategies against erosion and inundation in low-lying coastal zones, the thesis examines planned relocation as an adaptive response to climate-related environmental threats.
