| dc.description.abstract | The study presents how agrarian livelihoods in rural Maharashtra are transforming to adapt to the changing climate, and non-climatic drivers such as depletion of groundwater, land fragmentation, lack of post-harvest structures, and disappearing and deteriorating common property resources. Caste and social standing play a significant role in access to resources, land ownership, livelihoods choices and approaches – impacting people’s vulnerability to climate change. The study concludes that in order to develop feasible and sustainable interventions, vulnerability assessments need to be conducted at lower scales as climate risks vary even within small clusters of villages. | en |
