Bangladesh

Bangladesh is one of the most climate vulnerable countries in the world. Even after having one of the lowest per capita carbon di-oxide emissions in the world, it is one of the worst sufferer from the catastrophic impacts of climate change. To begin with, Bangladesh has always been in the receiving end of natural disasters, like floods, tropical cyclones, storms, droughts etc. The frequency and intensity of these natural disasters have increased manifold due to Climate Change. The rise in sea level due to the increase in temperature would lead to the submergence of low-lying coastal areas and saline water intrusion of coastal rivers into groundwater aquifers, reducing freshwater availability.
