Climate change is happening fast, and it poses risks that could hit rural communities in developing countries hard. The paper looks at how society deals with these risks and reviews how developing nations are adapting now and what they need to do in the future. It's clear that some groups are more at risk than others, especially those relying on sensitive resources like farming and fishing. Everyone must boost their ability to adapt to a changing climate. The challenges are already here, affecting how development plans are made. To tackle these challenges, societies must focus on building their ability to adapt while also aiming for sustainable development.
