Based on the last research project Camelia worked on for IWMI, she experienced that climate change risks were highly exacerbated by anthropogenic environmental degration, such as salinity, siltation and drainage congestion. Camelia‘s PhD looks at the economic and environmental impacts of changing land use and their social consequences among female headed households. For thisseminar she will present the motivation and background of her PhD research, key findings from her archival research and what she aims to explore during the next nine months of fieldwork in Satkhira and Khulna.
