Environmental Justice Foundation (ejf) ()

Working Papers from eSocialSciences

Abstract: The report explores how climate change has become one of the major challenges to the enjoyment of the basic rights to life, food, health, water, housing and self-determination in one of the World's most climate vulnerable countries. The report is based on the findings of an EJF field investigation in Bangladesh. It reveals the significant damage to vital infrastructure, widespread devastation to housing, reduced access to fresh water for drinking, sanitation and irrigation, and rising poverty and hunger caused by increasingly extreme weather events and the gradual but sustained deterioration in environmental security.
