Global warming will worsen this country's existing environmental problems - causing a rise in sea level, more flooding and stronger, more damaging cyclones.

Bangladeshis know what is coming, and how to respond, because they are already effectively combating environmental and social challenges. Cyclone shelters and warning systems have cut the fatality rate dramatically; new varieties of rice have raised nutrition levels; women's education has slowed population growth; land is being raised to respond to sea level rise. Bangladeshis will keep their heads above water, but at huge costs. Will the industrialised countries curb their greenhouse gas emissions and pay for the damage they have already done? 410 0$anthem climate change and policy series. 606 $aClimatic changes$zBangladesh 606 $aClimatic changes$zBangladesh$xPlanning 615 0$aClimatic changes 615 0$aClimatic changes$xPlanning. 676 $a363.738/74095492 700 $aRoy$b Manoj$01207837 702 $aHanlon$b Joseph 702 $aHulme$b David 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910150323403321 996 $aBangladesh confronts climate change$92786518 997 $aUNINA
