Sea level rise: Embankments in collapse in Coastal area

SATKHIRA, BANGLADESH - AUGUST 20, 2020: Aerial view of the coastal area's embankments that collapse by tidal surges in Bangladesh on August 20, 2020. Bangladesh is one of the country's most vulnerable to the effects of climate change. The regular and severe natural hazards that Bangladesh already suffers from tropical cyclones, river erosion, flood, landslides, and drought are all set to increase in intensity and frequency as a result of climate change. Sea level rise inundates coastal land by saltwater and destroys lands and homes. These and the many other adverse effects of climate change severely impact the economy and development of the country. One of the most dramatic impacts that forced movement of people throughout Bangladesh as a result of losing their homes, lands, property, and livelihoods by the effects of climate change. Coastal areas currently home to 300 million people will be vulnerable by 2050 to flooding made worse by climate change, no matter how aggressively humanity curbs carbon emissions, scientists have said.
