Climate Migrants In Bangladesh’s Chittagong Living In Crisis

The results of the survey published in Geophysical Research Letters are very similar to this picture of the latest high tide in Chittagong. According to the study, the second-largest city in Bangladesh lost 2.39 centimeters of land each year between 2015 and 2020; This increased the likelihood of flooding nearly seven times faster than the average sea-level rise. Bangladesh’s Chittagong and other Asian coastal cities are sinking faster than the rate of sea level rise, the study said. The ten fastest-sinking cities in the world are — Tianjin (China), Semarang (Indonesia), Jakarta (Indonesia), Shanghai (China), Ho Chi Minh City (Vietnam), Hanoi (Vietnam), Chittagong (Bangladesh), Kobe ( Japan), Kerala (India) and Houston (USA).
