| Abstract: | Poor and vulnerable groups are more negatively affected by changing climate and its related uncertainties in many developing countries. Agriculture, forestry and fisheries are the major sectors extremely sensitive to climate change even as a majority of the population in developing countries is highly dependent on these sectors for its survival. Climate change has been the prime reason for issues like low access to drinking water, food insecurity and associated health problems. Dietz and Stern (2009) observed that the climate-related events have a high impact on the marginalized population compared to the high income groups in the developing countries. Bridges (2016) found that the Scheduled Caste and indigenous communities are adversely affected due to climate change in India. However, a low number of studies have documented climate change impacts on marginalized groups, for example, in Africa (Boko et al., 2007). In addition, there are other aspects about climate change and inequality in terms of an uneven power structure and distribution of relief material in society. In the above context, at local, national and international levels, it is the vulnerable groups that are the most adversely affected due to climate change. In India, there are no significant studies on vulnerable communities and climate change. The IPCC Fifth Assessment Report has stated that climate change has directly affected the poor and marginalized groups through its impacts on their livelihoods such as losses in crop yields, destroyed homes, food insecurity and indirectly through increased food prices. Therefore, there is a need to assess the impacts of climate change on the livelihoods of vulnerable communities and thus why the researcher will carry this assessment in Traditional Authority Kilupula, Group Village Headman Mwantende in Karonga district. Climate change impacts on vulnerable communities and people in Karonga has affected a large number of people, especially socially excluded groups or vulnerable groups. Olsson et al (2014) comprehensively discussed the impacts of climate change on the marginalized population in developing countries. Most of the developing countries have inadequate adaptation strategies, especially for vulnerable communities. Vulnerable groups are facing two hurdles in this society. First, major environmental problems like pollution, water contamination, improper solid waste disposal, land degradation, forest degradation, and lack of access to natural resources on the one hand are factors that lead to loss of their livelihood because most of them depend on climate sensitive sectors as a major source of their income and employment. On the other hand, they are also hit by low literacy, unemployment, low income and lack of access to energy. In many developing countries, they have no decision-making power in society. Fankhauser and Stern (2016) has noted that climate change exerts uneven impacts across countries and populations at the global level. Moreover, developing countries show less adaptation to climate change and other coping mechanisms for preventing the adverse impacts of climate change. Climate change and its related hazards are having a great impact on the lives and livelihoods of vulnerable communities. Vulnerable communities have already suffered economic as well as social discrimination. Climate change is also another burden in their lives. The World Bank (2016) expressed the view that the rising temperate, unpredictability over the beginning of the monsoon season has resulted in impacts on some people and communities associated with low |
