“…Climate change will affect Dhaka severely through flooding and water congestion and heat stress [59]. A number of studies suggest that climate change will lead to compound problems of environmental degradation [60][61][62][63]. The key vulnerable sectors in Dhaka due to climate change would be agriculture and fisheries, infrastructure such as housing and transportation, utilities services such as water supply and sanitation, power supply, and trade and business industries, which will severely impact on the overall economic activities and most importantly public health and wellbeing [59,64].…”

Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh, is the eleventh largest megacity city in the world, with a population of 18.2 million people living in an area of 1528 km 2 . This city profile traces the trajectories of its urban development to becoming a megacity and characterizes its emerging challenges due to informal urbanization and climate change impacts. Due to rapid population growth and uncontrolled urbanization, Dhaka currently faces various socio-economic and environmental challenges in aspects such as providing basic urban services; reliable transportation framework; constant water and energy supply; effective sanitation; sustainable waste management and affordable housing. Moreover, the urban setting has further deteriorated as Dhaka is already facing various adverse impacts of climate change. Studies predict that most of the urban sectors, public health and surrounding agriculture and fisheries in Dhaka will be severely impacted by climate change. Dhaka is trying to transform its existing "incremental development" model to an "integrated development" framework in order to effectively mitigate its extreme urban challenges. The future of Dhaka city significantly relies on the successful execution of integrated infrastructure and service planning, development, and management practices, operating under an accountable and good governance system.

“…Such a welcome embrace of the contingent is evident in liberal renderings of climate change-induced migration. Such renderings regularly take the view that migration is a complex, non-linear and emergent phenomenon (Black, Kniveton et al 2011, Renaud, Dun et al 2011, Kniveton, Smith et al 2012. The relation between climate change and migration is said to be complex and emergent because the outcomes of climate-migration interactions can never be known in advance.…”

Uprooted by Climate Change: Responding to the growing risk of displacement

Climate change is already forcing people from their land and homes, and putting many more at risk of displacement in the future. Supercharged storms, more intense droughts, rising seas and other impacts of climate change all magnify existing vulnerabilities and the likelihood of displacement, disproportionately affecting low-income countries, women, children and indigenous peoples.Responding to these growing realities demands far stronger action towards ending global climate pollution, supporting resilient communities, ensuring rights for people on the move and developing long-term strategies to ensure that those who are forced to move in the future are able to do so safely and with dignity.
