Bangladesh's Climate Refugees: Can They Fight The Rising Sea? | Insight | Climate Change In Asia
Вставка

- Over the last decade, nearly 700,000 Bangladeshis were displaced each year by natural disasters. During the rainy season, more than one-fifth of the country can be flooded at once and there is very little escape from gushing waters for the 165 million population. In 2017 monsoon season, the country faced some of the worst flooding in their history. Thousands of homes and rice crops were destroyed, and families were left struggling to afford food. And the situation is expected to get worse in years to come. By 2050, nearly 13 million people are expected to be displaced due to the rise of its sea level which is projected to rise 1.5 meters.
Insight journeys into the lives of some of the most ordinary people in Bangladesh to provide a micro perspective to the challenges of climate change. Can a poor country like Bangladesh withstand and cope with the worsening impact of the climate crisis? How can it ensure it leaves no one behind in its fight against climate change?

What a beautiful country
I'm Bangladeshi, and I am always worried about climate change, it effects Bangladesh very hard. Effects all 160 milion Bangladeshis. Including me. Thanks for covering this
Too many People in your country.With your country size should has only 10 millions people at most and then the problem will be much better
@@jirawatliw180 its not population but consumption that is the problem
Climate problems was something the dictator General Ershad came to the UK and spoke about. Since 1991 the PM Hasina and Khaleda talk about it but have little global influence to do anything about it.
@@jirawatliw180 30 million Bangladeshis living at India illegally 😕
IF the problem is climate change, why it is so bad locally and not a problem elsewhere? The problem is people do not want flooding in their homes and yet they build on deltas that will sink without the flooding depositing mud on the land they built their homes on.
I am a climate refugee as well. Now living in Dhaka in a rented house, all my ancestor's land is now underwater because of river erosion. In case of any misfortune in Dhaka, we have nowhere to go.
Very good documentary though.
Tbh , as a Bangladeshi I can feel this pain of climate change .. it gives me tear !!!
Thanks CNA for this documentary.
Yes, I cannot imagine of my beautiful Bangladesh disappearing, thinking of it brings tears
what happens when you divert some of the money spent in military upgrade to fight war that is unnecessary and help out these poor communities??? So heartbreaking 💔💔😩😩😩😩😩😩
What? Ang give up fighter jets? You must be nuts!
What the hell man, Bangladesh should bit the authorities didn't.
I cannot imagine of my beautiful Bangladesh disappearing, thinking of it brings unstoppable tears.
Thanks CNA for talking about Bangladeshi Problem.
you mean "thanks for spreading more lies and propaganda".
@@roberthicks1612 Are you idiot or something? It’s neither lie nor propaganda.
@@shuvosalauddin3030 No, I am not an idiot. I am a person that understands science. They talk about how the rising sea level is going to put millions of people at risk YET the rise is so slow a snail can keep ahead of it. Do they tell you that the land is SINKING a full centimeter some years? No, they say the sea is rising. Why is it rising so fast there and no where else in the world.
Scientist have known for over a century that when a river delta gets flooded, the river deposits mud on top of mud. The weight of the new mud gradually pushes water out of the old mud. As it does, the land sinks. Do they blame the engineers for channeling the floods away from the cities? No of course not, that would mean the problem was theirs, created by their arrogance and their responsibility to fix. No, they want to blame America so they can tax America taxpayer into poverty. They hate that American stands against the communist regime and think they can break America by blaming something that has little real effect on us. IF they want a solution, all they have to do is put more soil above the river, just as nature has done for thousands of years.
Claiming it is climate change is nothing but lies and propaganda.
@@roberthicks1612 Wow another dumdhead climate science denier.
@@shuvosalauddin3030 Wow, another "useful idiot" sheeple unwilling to look at real science. Too bad they did not teach you to think for yourself in school. Guess they were too busy teaching you to be a good little communist.
It breaks my heart ♥️. To see how the people’s lives this way. Such a poorly country… life is not easy sometimes. I hope for the best! And I hope the leader. Do something good for this country insyaallah. God give more blessings.
I have seen a previous documentary about the internal refugees due to climate change in my country 2 years back, it was from DW. Textbooks contain causes and effects of climate change, the media and the majority people in BD are oblivious to the fact that climate change is here and will become worse. Govt. and policy makers think urban migration is due to economic development rather than due to river erosion or increased frequency of cyclones/flooding. Frankly, I dont see hope.
Many thanks for pointing out this issue and now we need to think about an adaptation strategy for these people.
its breaks my heart when I heard their painful stories. Hey god (Govt, Ngo, International organization) please help them.
Environmental refugees are a very big problem in South Asia, we need to solve these problems as soon as possible, otherwise, it will be too late to save the climate change-affected population.
What climate change affect our country is!!!! .... thanks 👍
Very important information for our country. Thanks for that's news.
Beautiful Souls 😍
All of us have to come forward and plant more and more trees🌱🌱🌱
Trees will not stop the land from sinking.
@@roberthicks1612 trees reduce erosion by stabilizing the soil with their roots
@@Liloldliz Read what I said again. I said it would not stop the *SINKING* of the land. Places like Bangladesh are SINKING, not eroding. These cities are built on river deltas. This is where the river slows down and deposits the mud it has been carrying for mile, sometimes hundreds of miles. When it does, it creates islands in the river and sometimes in the oceans. As the weight of the water in the mud is squeezed out, the land subsides. Under nature, more mud is deposited on the land as it sinks and the river floods, keeping the islands above sea levels.
Then man comes along and builds cities on top of the deltas and gets upset when it floods. So they build walls and levies to keep the flood waters out, and dredge channels to keep the water away from the cities. Problem is, the water is still be squeezed out, causing the land to continue to sink. Eventually, the land will flood again. Trees will not stop that. Either they will be washed away, or they will be buried in mud.

Sadly it is how the world operates! People, who pollute the most, are those who suffer the least. Basically, with all their wealth, they are simply buffered from all climate change impacts.
If you want to see how it can be real, watch Elysium,
Honestly, I cried the first time I watched this.
It really makes you grateful to be able to command the elements doesn't it?
Basically super powers know what is happening to the people of our country but they are like NAH. Not our problem
Basically speaking, Climate Change are sins of the First World Countries.
Subbed
We are greatful for coverage of our sufferings.
Without planting trees we are impossible to protect climate change effect🌱🌱🌱
165 million people in BD. Yikes
This was uploaded 1 year ago - but 2 months ago there was a huge flood!!! in bangladesh. Looks like it’s a reoccurring thing for bangladesh 🇧🇩 🤔.

climate chnage rises uncertanity in weather pattern
the overall rainfall in a year will not chnage however
the pattern will change. More rain during the flood season
and no rain during the dry season

All it's human problem
Feel sorry for for this people, they live in a place prone to bad weather.
Can't they build there houses somewhere else instead of rebuilding
Its easier to blame someone a long way away rather than admit they caused the problem.
since the population of this ‘province’ started referring to water as ‘pani’ their doom was sealed
So sad...
Pm
@@AsadulIslam-wt9ow yes what happens? That lady. PM. I think she is in love with indian PM. She doesn’t do anything’s for her own people’s..
Yes it is sad. But what happen to the PM Lady? Disaster..
😥😥😥
Bangladesh govt must seek outside expertise to find the solution for this predicament.Bangladesh could learn a lot from other country for example Singapore.
😔
They need to blant bamboo around the coastal areas
What is the Bangladesh government does for these people other then collect vote 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡
The sea is not rising in Bangladesh, that is an out-and-out lie. Bangladesh is SINKING into the sea at 2-8 inches per year. This is ameliorated by silting.
Bangladesh suffers flooding because of deforestation & the fact that a huge part of the country is the delta of many rivers, including the Ganges & Brahmaputra, & thus is low lying, and also suffers when ENSO is in La Nina phase.
Absolutely nothing to do with climate change, this is NORMAL for Bangladesh. It has been so throughout the past few centuries at least.
What makes this land so fertile, also makes it dangerous.
事實對富裕國家和貧窮國家在洪水災難過後大不同，富裕國家在洪水災難過後是經濟繁盛時刻，因為好多人需要買新屋，汽車，家庭電器，家具及修理東西，而且富裕國家有人才，技術，資金和物資重建，這是雪中送炭。但貧窮國家在洪水災難過後是生與死時刻，因為好多人無家可歸及飢餓，而且貧窮國家沒有人才，技術，資金和物資重建，他們生活越來越困難，這是雪上加霜
would help if people there not make all those babies during the climate emergency. Why bring babies into a world that is sinking? That is morally wrong.
.
bull$#!t… these places should not have been inhabited in the first place!!!
in fact that for wealth countries and poor countries by flood disaster after big different, wealth countries by flood disaster after moment of economic flourishing, because many peoples need buy new house, car, home appliances, furniture and repairs it, then wealth countries their have talent, technology, fund and materials for them rebuild up it, it's cool weather get warm fire. but poor countries by flood disaster after moment of alive or dead, because many people homeless and hungry, then poor countries their without talent, technology, fund and materials for them rebuild up it, they living get to get hard, it's cool weather get falling snow
Hmm they need to buy bitcoin as digital property to secure their wealth.
India should join Bangladesh to West Bengal & open borders.
