Abstract
Climate change is a reality and, it affects the lives of poor and vulnerable people in developing countries like Bangladesh. In order to improve the livelihoods of vulnerable people, it is urgent to set up a link between environmental policy implementation and poverty reduction. In this article, a natural resource management research approach is suggested. It consists of two steps (1) Identifying the extents related to environmental sustainability and, (2) The role of the areas to the income generation process. Descriptive research design is used to achieve the objectives, and for the purpose of the research primary data is collected from 201 respondents in South-West coastal zone of Bangladesh with the help of a closed-ended questionnaire. The authors analyzed the data with the help of IBM SPSS-21 and, found that environmental sustainability is one of the most important precondition for economic development at the coastal zone in Bangladesh delta. It also found that the income generation process of the local people is significantly influenced by the environmental sustainability.

The researchers have tested the value of Cronbach’s Alpha to assess the data reliability and presented in Table-1which indicates that, all the variables are reliable and they all have higher values than minimum standard value for Cronbach’s Alpha is 0.6 according to ((Price, 1972) and 0.70 according to (Kline, 1999) and the descriptive statistics represented by the table-1 shows that all the average values are greater than 4 except 3.77 for the agricultural production Management (APM) variable that related with the minimum standard deviation ± 0.46
The authors of the present study found that there is a significant effect of Creation of Environment Culture (CEC), and NCEC on Creation of Environmental Sustainability (CES), whereas CES has a significant effect on Income Generation Process (IGP)
