Climate Change In Bangladesh, Satkhira - 20 Mar 2021

A woman is collecting drinking water, Salinity effect seen in soil as a result trees has died after Cyclone amphan hit in Satkhira, Bangladesh on March 20, 2021. Deep cracks seen in a field as rise of sea-level causes deep cracks by leaving salt on ground after evaporation. Bangladesh is one of the countrys most vulnerable to the effects of climate change. The regular and severe natural hazards that Bangladesh already suffers from tropical cyclones, river erosion, flood, landslides and drought are all set to increase in intensity and frequency as a result of climate change. Sea level rise will increasingly inundate coastal land in Bangladesh and dramatic coastal and river erosion will destroy lands and homes. These and the many other adverse effects of climate change will severely impact the economy and development of the country. One of the most dramatic impacts will be the forced movement of people throughout Bangladesh as a result of losing their homes, lands, property and livelihoods to the effects of climate change. While it is impossible to predict completely accurate figures of how many people will be displaced by climate change, the best current estimates state that sea level rise alone will displace 18 million Bangladeshis within the next 40 years. The vast majority of these people will be displaced within Bangladesh not across international borders presenting the Government with enormous challenges, particularly when it comes to finding places to live and work for those displaced
