 Climate change has wide-ranging and complex impacts on environmental systems and the human communities that depend on them. The combined impacts of climate change in addition to non-climatic pressures threaten the livelihood and stability of such communities in the Mekong Flooded Forest, who heavily depend on local natural resources for subsistence.
