The work examines ecological vulnerability and population vulnerability, including disproportionate impacts on coastal poor communities, risks to mother-child health, salinity-driven effects on health and livelihoods, and out-migration pressures. It then reviews coping and adaptation measures, institutional capacity considerations, and lessons for assessing climate vulnerability and strengthening coastal resilience projects.","Pub lic Disclosure Authorized Pub lic Disclosure Authorized Pub lic Disclosure Authorized Pub lic Disclosure Authorized  \nCoping with Climate Change in the Sundarbans  \nLessons from Multidisciplinary Studies  \nSusmita Dasgupta, David Wheeler, Md.
