How changing climate is affecting Bangladeshis (International Policy Digest) 

October 09, 2022


International Policy Digest published an article stating that Bangladesh, the largest delta in the world, is a highly vulnerable country owing to climate change. According to a study by IFPRI and The Ohio State University, Chittagong and Khulna districts are more likely to experience the greatest within-district extra-added flow of migrants, estimated between 15,000 and 30,000 migrants annually. Those who are losing their homes, fisheries, and cultivable land are dealing with a significant challenge to their daily livelihoods. The impacts of climate change will not appear only in the future; many people are already experiencing its consequences. About 80 percent of the land in the country floods during the monsoon season because most of it is low and flat. Due to the massive river water increase during this season, the frequency of riverbank erosion also increases.
