Bangladesh remains at the forefront of the global climate crisis in 2025, facing escalating threats from rising sea levels, increasingly severe cyclones, frequent flooding, and extreme heat, which collectively jeopardize food security, economic growth, public health, and human settlements. The country’s low-lying geography and dense population make it exceptionally vulnerable, with projections indicating that sea level rise may submerge up to 11% of the land by mid-century and displace millions, while salinization and erratic rainfall undermine agriculture and rural livelihoods, forcing large-scale migration to overcrowded urban centers. Despite contributing minimally to global emissions, Bangladesh endures profound climate injustice, with adaptation measures, such as early warning systems and coastal defenses, facing increasing strain as risks intensify and the frequency of extreme events rises.
