Council for Social and Digital Development (CSDD)’s Post

Climate change and its impact on lives and livelihood is for real for the indigenous Karbi Tribe community in Kolongpur Village of Nortap Panchayat in Dimoria Block of Kamrup Metro District of Assam. With a population of nearly 100 households and women and men equally working in Bettlenut, orange, broom stick, and growing paddies', and now almost all HHs growing rubber plantations, the community is experiencing climate impacts over the years. They have stopped growing ginger (as they noticed white patched diseases), size of betelnuts growing smaller, dry weather, rainfall shortage are affecting them over the years in recent times. A discussion on 'Climate Safe Village' (জলবায়ু সুৰক্ষিত গাঁও) with women of Four women SHGs, highlighted increasing challenge to livelihoods and income generation. Enabling, building and strengthening a strong observation based perspectives with real life experiences around it on climate change trends and its close interconnect to existence is need of the hour to prepare communities for effective Response and Resilience. And Climate Change Education (CCE) is the first step!
