Small-scale fishing communities in haor areas are among the most vulnerable to climate change and poverty. The aim of this study is to investigate the context of small-scale fishing communities in Sunamganj and nearby regions in terms of climate change and poverty. Haor regions are critical to the Bangladeshi economy, and many of people rely on them for a living. Small-scale fishing communities in Sunamganj are regarded the most vulnerable among the populations who live in haor regions because they are socially disadvantaged, undereducated, lack market access, have the identity of a working-class community, and have no notion how to change their fortunes. Due of climate change, the environment in many locations is changing, and as a result, the supply of fish is diminishing year after year. Additionally, the regular flash floods in these locations leave the fishing population vulnerable owing to restricted access to basic supplies. These factors contribute to the impoverishment of the small-scale fishing community and its decline into the vicious cycle of poverty. Also, they have limited access to tools and other sources of money that may aid them in escaping poverty. Hence, even if they tried, they couldn't escape their predicament of poverty. As following objectives, we offered a number of government initiatives, additional revenue streams, and local infrastructure restoration.
