The effect of climate action on the community has been very harsh, with people facing unhealthy levels of exposure to both salt intrusion and flooding. These hazards not only threaten lives and property but also undermine sustainable development in multiple ways. In fact, about seven or more Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are directly affected, including those related to health, clean water, poverty reduction, and education etc. The close proximity of people leaving in the area directly increases their exposure to airborne and water born diseases. Women are exposed to more health threatening condition as a result of the exposure. The situation clearly highlights how climate impacts ripple across different aspects of life, reinforcing the interconnectedness of the SDGs. Addressing these challenges requires coordinated efforts that link environmental resilience with social and economic well‑being.
