Bangladesh is now widely recognized to be one of the countries
that is most vulnerable to climate change. Natural hazards that come from
increased rainfall, rising sea levels, and tropical cyclones are expected to
increase as climate changes, each seriously affecting agriculture, water and
food security, human health and shelter. It is believed that in the coming decades the
rising sea level alone will create more than 20 million climate refugees. Bangladeshi
water is contaminated with arsenic frequently because of the high arsenic
contents in the soil. Up to 77 million people are exposed to toxic arsenic from
drinking water. Source: wikipedia
