Climate justice Asia
These temporary sandbags may not look much, but come monsoon, they stand as the last line of defence against the infamous all-grabbing bengal flood. Satkhira, Bangladesh, September 2021. Most of the population of coastal south-western Bangladesh is at high risk from the effects of climate change. Reasons for this vulnerability include living in low-lying, exposed areas; having livelihoods that are dependent on natural resources; and household poverty. Some people face additional challenges due to deep-rooted discrimination based on ethnicity, religion or caste, for example Dalits and the Indigenous Munda people.
