A research team from ALARM and Displacement solutions initiated a joint research project to assess the viability of establishing a land bank through two cases in the Ayeyarwaddy Delta and Paung township in Mon state. The study villages were Shwe Sar Yan and Boe Tauk Khone in delta region and Khindan Village in Mon state.The objectives of the study were to identify the extent of the potential of displaced people from extreme weather events and climate change and to investigate the feasibility of the introduction of a Myanmar National Climate Land Bank as an option to provide adaptations strategies to displaced peoples from climate change in Myanmar. In these locations, the perspectives of coastal communities were sought regarding potential future population movements necessitated by extreme weather events and climate change as well as the effects of climate change on current living conditions. Methodological tools utilized in the research included: resource mapping and histograms of the villages, stakeholders’ consultations and focus group discussions. Participatory tools were used to engage the community in focus group discussions and help them to be able to articulate their understanding of the impacts of extreme weather events .The seasonal calendars were used to  investigate the socioeconomic condition, the traditional knowledge and weather types at different months of the year and to identify the linkages between changing weather patterns, traditional knowledge, socio-environmental changes and their effects of livelihoods of the village community. In the southern delta, the Villages identified sea level rise as the main impact from climate change that effect their ability to maintain current livelihoods. Although many villages are currently being impacted by increased beach erosion and storm surges in the monsoonal season the real impacts of global sea level rise are yet to be felt. For Myanmar, sea level is predicted to rise only 5-10cm by 2020 but is expected to rise 20-41cm by 2050 and increase to 37-83cm by the end of the century, some models predict a potential rise exceeding 122cm.  Continued beach erosion causing local land subsidence could mean large areas of the Ayeyrwaddy Delta could be permanently inundated displacing hundreds of thousands of people. The coastal fisherman of the Khindan Village is already being affected by extreme weather events and climate change and the temperatures are rising – no longer getting a cold season. The village experienced the scarcity of fresh water supplies during the dry season and the rise in ocean temperatures effecting fish availability and putting pressures on livelihood sustainability. In the past 20 years over 1.6km of beach front land has been eroded and the costal villagers have had to move their homes many times. Furthermore, the Freshwater wells have gone under water. There is no further available land in the village for households to move. The villagers concerned to where they will move next and how to sustain their livelihoods. Villages agreed that planned relocation with help from the government would be a good option to secure their futures.
