By ICCCAD
May 3, 2023
in :  Article, Publications
1,278

This article looks at the economic and non-economic ‘‘loss and damage’ (L&D) of communities in Bangladesh experiencing climate induced displacement. Highlighting the potential of the innovative Climate Resilient Migrant Friendly Towns project, developed by ICCCAD, to provide durable solutions to climate IDPs, the authors make the case that L&D funding should prioritize people displaced by climate and the host communities …

With the crisis of refugees arriving in to Europe from Syria and other countries in Asia and Africa the topic of climate change, displacement and migration assumes a high level of attention.

(Article originally published here) Population growth rates in some of the worst salinity-hit coastal districts of Bangladesh have become negative, coupled with a staggering growth in slums, point at a mass exodus of agro-based people towards the urban areas. The alarming intrusion of salinity into vast tracts of arable land in these districts can be directly linked to the global …

Adaptation strategies of poor urban migrants in the context of climate change: A case study of Natore, Sirajganj, and Rajshahi

By ICCCAD
October 4, 2015
in :  Dhaka Tribune Articles

(Article originally published here) The policies and their implementation must aim to locate people to cities other than Dhaka and Chittagong River erosion, continuous flooding, and long droughts — these calamities are everyday realities for some Bangladeshis. They affect livelihoods, disrupt lives and uproot people from their homes. Observations from a recent study show that migration is an important strategy …

in :  Dhaka Tribune Articles
3,749

(This article has originally been published here) To the surprise of very few, Dhaka has been ranked as one of the most unlivable cities in the world. Delving deeper beneath the apparent reasons – overpopulation, pollution, and congestion – reveals a major underlying cause: unsustainable levels of climate induced displacement and migration. “Climate change acts as a trigger for migration,” …

As part of my time at ICCCAD, I worked as a translator for visiting researcher Kathinka Evertsen. Her research focused on differences in the migration experiences of men and women from the Bhola District. Bhola is heavily affected by river erosion, flooding and storms, and is among the areas most affected by climate change in Bangladesh. A part of Ms. Evertsen’s research …

Kathinka and I arrived in Elisha, a town on Bangladesh’s Bhola Island, early Sunday morning, tumbling out of the auto into a cluster of tin-shed buildings huddled on the bank of the Meghna River.
