In Search of Hope: Climate Displacement in Bangladesh
The people of Bangladesh bear witness to the continued destruction that climate change is having on their densely populated country every day. Communities in this poverty stricken, low-lying country have experienced the destruction of two Cyclones in the last five years, this region is prone to severe flooding from glacier melting from the Himalayas coupled with seasonal Monsoon rains. Each year thousands of people are uprooted and forced to take refuge in makeshift shelters along the embankments throughout the country as they seek to escape the wrath of Mother Nature.
This is why I believe that climate change in Bangladesh is not a problem for 2030, 2040 or 2050. It is a problem now and one that needs to be addressed with decisive action being taken.
