ADB: Climate change may push 7.5% of Bangladeshis to migrate by 2050
Original: Climate change could drive 7.5% of Bangladesh's population to migrate internally by 2050: ADB
The Asian Development Bank projects that climate change could force about 7.5% of Bangladesh's population to migrate internally by 2050, as rising sea levels, flooding and salinity intrusion displace communities from vulnerable coastal and low-lying areas. The findings highlight the scale of internal displacement risks facing one of the countries most exposed to climate impacts, with implications for urban planning and adaptation policy.
Why now: New ADB projections quantify the potential scale of climate-driven internal migration in Bangladesh, a country highly vulnerable to climate change.
