Exploring the Stories of Climate Change Impact on the Livelihood, Health and Well-being of the Coastal Community of Conakry Dee
Abstract
Over the past years, Sierra Leone has been experiencing extreme weather events. In all of these, the country’s coastal communities which are highly dependent on natural resources that are sensitive to climate variability have been the most affected due to sea level rise and their low socio-economic status. This study explores the stories of climate change's impact on the livelihood, health and wellbeing of Conakry Dee community and to generate community-led action that can inform new intervention policies in changing the lives of coastal communities in positive ways.
