I Was Totally Wrong About Bangladesh

How is climate change impacting Bangladesh?

I came expecting to find an intense, but straightforward answer to the story. A menagerie of problems. Pollution and heat. Storms and floods. Rural-urban migration. And I did hear about those things. But…

I also found that if you zoom out, there is so much interconnectedness between all these elements. Bangladesh wasn’t so much a container for various climate challenges, but a locus where all of them meet and interact.

I learned so much from talking to climate migrants in Dhaka and trying to understand their journeys.

Bangladesh… you’ve taught me so much.
