Fishers ICTs use for early warning reception, it’s effect on Livelihood Resilience and sustainability in East Coast Malaysia

Climate change is posing a serious threat to agriculture and hence food security of nations. Achieving sustainable development goals (SDGs) is thus contingent on adaptation measures that are aimed to reduce vulnerability and build resilience. The ICTs are recognized for strengthening Livelihood Resi...
