Rising tide of climate migrants spurs Dhaka to seek solutions

Bangladesh's capital city of 20 million people is growing by close to 5 percent a year, in part as rural families migrate to the city seeking work or having lost their homes to worsening river erosion and storm surges that flood fields with salt water.

The stream of migrants, expected to surge as climate change problems like sea-level rise intensify, could double the already crowded city's population in 15 years, said Omar Rahman, vice chancellor of Independent University, Bangladesh (IUB).

"We are in the eye of the storm here,” he told participants at a conference on community-based adaptation to climate change in Dhaka this week.
