Bangladesh has a unique topography. Situated on the Bay of Bengal, its geographical location makes it particularly vulnerable to extreme weather events including floods, cyclones, and sea level rise. Its vulnerability arises not only from biophysical factors but also socio-economic ones such as dependence on agriculture, population density, and poverty.
The impacts of climate change are causing a rise in displacement and migration globally. This has become one of the key development challenges, especially for countries vulnerable to climate change impacts. Millions of people are displaced each year due to droughts, river erosion, floods, and cyclones, resulting in increasing internal migration.
