“…Water management in a broader perspective should focus on increasing national water storage capacity and developing an integrated approach to ensure its effective utilization by addressing all related components across the chain involving policy, research and management issues. Water finds a central position in devising strategies to minimize the impacts of climate change on crop production (Scott and Lennon, 2020). As the main concern is diminishing water supplies due to population growth, greater focus needs to be put on increasing water use efficiency at the field scale.…”

Agriculture sector, being the dominant user of fresh water (70%) is highly vulnerable to climate change in Pakistan. Increase in frequency of floods and drought, rising temperatures and changes in rainfall pattern across the country during the recent years are clear indicators of changing climate. Climate change has serious repercussions for national food security as farmers have limited knowledge and technologies for mitigating the adverse effects of climate change on crop productivity. This situation is expected to decrease yield of major food crops. There exists dire need to make an intensive analysis of situation to identify existing knowledge and technology gaps and suggest doable measures for multiple stake holders like policy makers, scientists and farmers accordingly. This review paper covers the impact of climate change on agriculture and presents strategies to adapt to climate change. Strategies at policy/government level include increased funds for research, improvement of national capacity building (training of trainers) and development of a localized smart early warning system for climate change related events. Key research areas being identified to address vulnerability include development of innovative water use efficient technologies, zone specific agronomic research, applied root research, organic farming to increase soil resilience and research on ground water recharge and quality using simulation models. Farmers shall be sensitized about the issue of climate change through education and every effort shall be made to make proper use of existing farm resources and technologies to live with the changing climate so that national food security is not compromised.

“…Over the last two decades, climate change scholars and disaster experts have focused on retreat as one of several adaptation options in response to climate change. There are multiple definitions of retreat ( Agyeman et al, 2009 , Ferris, 2015 , Hanna et al, 2019 , Scott et al, 2020 ) as well as contestations as to which “R” word (retreat, relocation, resettlement, realignment) is acceptable to different actors ( Esteves, 2013 , Koslov, 2016 ) or commonly used in different geographic regions ( Hammond, 2008 , Betzold, 2015 , Arnall, 2019 ). In this paper, we use the word ‘managed retreat’ because of its emerging but controversial appeal to scholars working on the subject.…”

“…For some people, retreat may mean creating new setbacks ( Abel et al, 2011 , Pilkey et al, 2016 ), revoking building permits ( Nalau et al, 2015 ), re-zoning and land acquisition ( Dyckman et al, 2014 ) or outright relocation from hazardous zones ( Herrmann, 2017 ). MR is considered an alternative to sudden displacement ( Johnson, 2012 , Koslov, 2016 , Scott et al, 2020 ) and typically involves government and/or community participation ( Sipe and Vella, 2014 , Ferris, 2015 , Mortreux et al, 2018 ). For example, Taro, the capital of Choiseul Province in the Solomon Islands, is set to become the first capital globally to relocate residents and services due to the threat of SLR ( Albert et al, 2016 ).…”

Highlights The experiences of climate migrants and those resettled through retreat are radically different. The misuse of terms – climate migration and managed retreat – impede plans and policy solutions. Transformational approaches are needed in how countries address climate-induced mobilities. New legal and institutional pathways for the resettlement of CDPs are urgently needed. A new global convention on CDPs with comprehensive rights is necessary to ensure climate justice.

“…The threats of climate change—with weather changes including drought, desertification, land and forest degradation, wildfires, floods, and sea-level rise—force people in vulnerable areas to move. As a response to the threats of climate change, climate adaptation strategies focus on resist, retreat, or rebuild (Scott and Lennon 2020 ). In the case of retreat, climate displacement has been discussed in many different forms, including forced and voluntary, temporary, and permanent, internal and cross-borders.…”

Intangible cultural heritage: a benefit to climate-displaced and host communities

Climate change is borderless, and its impacts are not shared equally by all communities. It causes an imbalance between people by creating a more desirable living environment for some societies while erasing settlements and shelters of some others. Due to floods, sea level rise, destructive storms, drought, and slow-onset factors such as salinization of water and soil, people lose their lands, homes, and natural resources. Catastrophic events force people to move voluntarily or involuntarily. The relocation of communities is a debatable climate adaptation measure which requires utmost care with human rights, ethics, and psychological well-being of individuals upon the issues of discrimination, conflict, and security. As the number of climate-displaced populations grows, the generations-deep connection to their rituals, customs, and ancestral ties with the land, cultural practices, and intangible cultural heritage become endangered. However, intangible heritage is often overlooked in the context of climate displacement. This paper presents reflections based on observations regarding the intangible heritage of voluntarily displaced communities. It begins by examining intangible heritage under the threat of climate displacement, with place-based examples. It then reveals intangible heritage as a catalyst to building resilient communities by advocating for the cultural values of indigenous and all people in climate action planning. It concludes the discussion by presenting the implications of climate displacement in existing intangible heritage initiatives. This article seeks to contribute to the emerging policies of preserving intangible heritage in the context of climate displacement.
