Bangladesh is one of the most vulnerable countries to face the challenges of rising tide. With a population of one hundred and sixty-eight million people, it is the world’s eighth most populous country and the most densely populated, excluding small island nations and city-states.
Climate change is the largest environmental threat to the people of the Pacific Islands. For the next installment of The Rising Tide, I chose to focus on the atolls of the Marshall Islands and Kiribati, which are in imminent danger of disappearing due to Rising Tide.
Chesapeake Bay is rising twice as fast as the global average. The region’s relative sea level is projected to rise as much as two feet in the next 35 years and up to five feet or more by the end of the century.
