The Sundarbans — the world’s largest transboundary mangrove delta (across India and Bangladesh) — is a dynamic landscape shaped by Himalayan sediments from the Ganges, Brahmaputra, and Meghna rivers, and the sea. With a diverse population of nearly eight million people, the Sundarbans is also a biodiversity hotspot supporting rich flora and fauna, including the Royal Bengal Tiger, which is protected under biosphere and wildlife reserves in both countries. Climate risks disproportionately affect this region, particularly the southern parts such as X and Y,, due to the historical marginalization of local communities such as A and B.  their marginalization. Historically, the  region has witnessed many adaptation interventions, such as embankment construction and reforestation, as well as various population ‘relocation’ strategies, which frame the delta as a ‘riskscape’. Our research focuses on inclusive, place-based adaptation in five sites that takes into account the interests of local communities as well as the ecologies they inhabit.
