Bangladesh: A Climate-Vulnerable Nation
Bangladesh is one of the world's most climate-vulnerable countries, with over 170 million people living across floodplains, coastal zones, riverine char lands, and dense urban settlements.
Located in the Ganges–Brahmaputra–Meghna delta, nearly 30% of the population lives in coastal and low-lying areas exposed to floods, cyclones, storm surges, heat stress, and salinity intrusion. These hazards interact with high population density, climate-sensitive livelihoods, and unequal adaptive capacity, creating compound risks for human habitats.
