Legal protection for these communities is essential to safeguard their rights, culture, and access to resources. The recognition of their land rights is crucial, as displacement due to rising sea levels and extreme weather events disrupts their traditional livelihoods. Legal frameworks must incorporate indigenous knowledge and practices to enhance resilience against climate impacts. Health services need to be tailored to reflect the environmental realities faced by Sundarbans tribals, including increased incidence of waterborne diseases and mental health issues linked to climate anxiety. Strengthening community involvement in decision-making processes, along with access to legal recourse, can empower tribals to advocate for their needs. Collaborative efforts between local governments, NGOs, and tribal leaders can foster sustainable development while preserving the unique cultural heritage of the Sundarbans. 2025 by IGI Global Scientific Publishing.
