"Myanmar is one of the most vulnerable countries to the negative effects of climate change, and the majority of Myanmar people are also highly vulnerable to climate variability and natural disasters. Myanmar’s delta region is exposed to sea level rise and cyclones, and the central dry zone is vulnerable to drought and floods, and 60% of the population works in agriculture, livestock and fisheries, which are highly sensitive to climatic variations. Already, changes in the timing of monsoon rainfall are hurting farmers’ income and food security, along with floods, droughts, heat and extreme weather events. A contributing factor to the impact of climate change in Myanmar is the limited understanding and awareness, of both policymakers and the public, of the risks and potential negative impacts of climate change on economic, social and environmental development.
