Climate Change and Security in Bangladesh

Issue:Climate change

This case study explores the potential impact of climate change on security and conflict in Bangladesh. As international researchers have started to make the link between climate change, insecurity and conflict, they have raised concerns that Bangladesh’s extreme vulnerability to the environmental effects of climate change may create conditions that put it at risk of greater insecurity and possible conflict. It is therefore important to analyse this issue in detail, in order to identify how serious the risk is and what can be done to address it.
