DHAKA (Thomson Reuters Foundation) – Bangladeshi migrants leaving the coast due to rising sea levels could trigger waves of migration across the country that will affect at least 1.3 million people by 2050, according to a new study.
A new mathematical model predicts the country s southern regions along the Bay of Bengal will be the first impacted by sea level rise, causing displacement that would eventually affect all of the nation s 64 districts.
Some migrants could displace existing residents, triggering further movement of people, said the study published by the American Geophysical Union, an international scientific group.
