2. Poverty Dimension
four dimensions of poverty
- opportunity (access to
markets and employment);
- capability (access to health
and education);
- security (vulnerability to
economic risks and to all
forms of violence); and
- empowerment (power
within and beyond the
household)
- (Amaratya Sen 2001)
3. Understanding Livelihood and its
security
Poor and
Marginalized
people’s livelihood
need to be secured
under the threat of
climate change
4. Defining Livelihood
A livelihood comprises
the capabilities, assets
(including both material
and social resources) and
activities required for a
means of living.
A livelihood is
sustainable when it
can cope with and
recover from
stresses and shocks
and maintain or
enhance its
capabilities and
assets both now and
in the future, while
not undermining the
natural resource
base. (Chambers and Conway
1992)
6. What is Vulnerability
The extent to which a person, group or
socio-economic structure is likely to be
affected by a hazard (related to their
capacity to anticipate it, cope with it,
resist it and recover from its impact). It
is related to social, economic, political,
cultural, physical, etc. conditions

7. What is DRR
The conceptual framework of elements
considered with the possibilities to
minimize vulnerabilities and disaster risks
throughout a society, to avoid (prevention)
or to limit (mitigation and preparedness)
the adverse impacts of hazards, within the
broader context of sustainable development
(UNISDR, 2006)

8. Poor are most affected and Vulnerable
The use of these large
cast nets endangers
valuable resources. An

the island fisheries
community to develop
alternatives to ensure
better resources

9. Livelihood Security Outcome
achievements or outputs
higher income levels,
of livelihood strategies
sustainable and resilient
in the face of external
shocks and stresses
an increased sense of
well-being,
reduced levels of
vulnerability
food security
greater access to
education, health when
service not available
systematic at state level
