Bangladesh is one of the most vulnerable nations when it comes to climate change. The country is not only prone to heatwaves but already has to contend with devastating floods.

Many climate refugees in Bangladesh are fleeing to Dhaka from rural villages, yet that area is still vulnerable to floods, particularly during monsoon season.
