Overview
Most of Bangladesh is low-lying, and it is therefore one of the most vulnerable countries in the world to the severe impacts of global climate change.
The main environmental crises come from cyclones, tidal surges, storms, landslides, riverbank erosion and salinity intrusion into the soil. These factors significantly impact crop and vegetable production.
In 2017, hundreds of thousands of people fled violence in northern Rakhine State, Myanmar, into neighbouring Bangladesh in urgent need of food, water, sanitation, shelter, medical aid and trauma care.
