Dumki is an Upazila of Patuakahli District of Bangladesh, is more vulnerable to climate change. It is being affected almost every year by natural disasters like cyclones, floods and storm surges due to climate change. The aims of the study are to find out the community perception and experience in climate change adaptation related to water and environment, local adaptation techniques of the defined study area. To fulfill the aim semi-structure individual interview methodology are used. The key findings of the study are climate change impact on agriculture, fisheries, water, environment, livelihood and copping strategies such as use floating garden, homestead gardening, rearing poultry, crop diversification, raising water pump, pond embankment, use cyclone shelter to cope with climate change in the study area. Present study showed that climate change increased in the recent years. The community is affected by water borne disease owing to climate change.
