Over the last two decades, climate change (CC) has come to be recognized as an important process posing significant threat to the global environment and the populations living in it. The impacts of global warming and its impacted changes in weather and seasonal patterns and the incidence of disasters are increasingly felt at all levels of society, but its most intense effects appear to be focused on the people and communities dependent upon primary sector occupations, i.e., agriculture, forestry, fisheries etc..with predictions suggesting a further intensification of these effects in the medium to long-term. – affecting mostly the vulnerable sectors and communities. 

The key objective of our Seminar is to make the participants aware of impacts/effects on vulnerable communities due to rapid change of climate and also encourage them to take up the mitigative activities in their respective work areas as possible..
