Sundarbans caught between climate change and human survival

Original: The Sundarbans at the crossroads of climate change and human survival [Commentary]

A new commentary examines the Sundarbans, the vast mangrove delta shared by India and Bangladesh, arguing the region now sits at the intersection of climate change and human survival. Rising seas, cyclones and salinisation are degrading the mangroves that shield millions, while local communities depend on the same fragile ecosystem for their livelihoods. The piece frames the delta as a test case for whether conservation and human needs can be reconciled.

Why now: Climate impacts on the Sundarbans threaten both a critical ecosystem and the millions of people who depend on it.
