Climate change is one of the greatest challenges facing the world today and the individuals and communities who face being displaced from their homes and lands as a result of climate change are the human faces of this tragedy. Bangladesh is one of the countries most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. The IPCC and other expert bodies have repeatedly identified Bangladesh as one of the countries most threatened by climate change.

Studies reveal that climate change could cause the forced displacement of up to 30 million people in Bangladesh by 2100 if sea levels rise - as they are expected to - by 80cm or more. Therefore, Bangladesh will have to face the challenge of mass migration, both external and internal, due to climate change as the country is not yet adequately prepared in provide permanent rights-based solutions for the relocation of such a large number of climate displaced people.
