Description:
For years, the people in Dhemaji and Lakhimpur districts on the northern bank of the Brahmaputra have lived with devastating floods and dealt with them thanks to their traditional knowledge that made them flood-resilient. But the latest report compiled by Kathmandu-based International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD) - 'Role of Policy and Institutions in Local Adaptation to Climate Change' have found that indigenous coping strategies of local communities are increasingly proving to be ineffective in dealing with floods.
