Increased risk of food security, water shortage for industries and societies, decrease in hydropower generation, natural hazards like floods and landslides and potential migrations caused by them are some of the likely reasons that make different sectors vulnerable.

Distress migration to cities/towns due to droughts in rural areas.

Retreat: Relocation of at-risk communities and infrastructure.

Gendered vulnerability can also emerge from more complex processes such as male out- migration, which is often a primary response to climate stress on agriculture for the most marginal cultivators.

Floods and droughts adversely affect agricultural production and productivity resulting in income shortages. Increasing need for livelihood diversification triggers outmigration (predominantly men, with 12% women migrant workers).

The depletion of ecosystem services negatively affects food security of the poor and marginalized communities but also causes displacement and further marginalization.

Awareness to people and communities living in climate induced disaster-prone areas and relocation of risky settlements in safe area.
