CLIMATE change threatens the lives of over 19 million children in Bangladesh, according to a new report by the United Nations Children's Fund (Unicef).
Twenty of Bangladesh’s 64 districts, the report finds, are exposed to the most hazardous effects of climate change such as cyclones, flash floods, droughts, etc.
“The effects of climate change are pushing families in many of the country’s poorest communities over the edge, leaving them unable to keep their children properly housed, fed, healthy and educated,” Unicef Bangladesh representative Edouard Beigbeder writes in the report.
