They are often forced to reduce the amount of food they eat and the number of meals they have in a day, take loans, and risk being internally displaced. Also, one of the grassroots-participants said, \u201cAs the shared use of natural resources has connected community members, when these resources become scarce (due to climate change), it can cause division and conflict if not properly managed\u201d. These are some of the human impacts of climate change. The recommendations from grassroots community members from rural Afghanistan were clear.
