Routledge - Women and Climate Change in Bangladesh Book

Explore the complex relationship between gender and environmental shifts in this essential academic study. While Bangladesh is not a high carbon emitter, the nation faces extreme risks from climate-driven events. This book examines how cyclones, flooding, and storm surges threaten both lives and livelihoods across the region. Through a detailed three-year study conducted at the village level, this work investigates the impact of slow-onset changes like droughts, sea level rises, and river basin erosion. It specifically addresses the vulnerability of populations living in extreme poverty, providing a deep look into how environmental instability affects social structures. As part of the ASAA Women in Asia Series, this text offers a necessary perspective on the intersection of climate change and human survival in one of the world's most affected nations.
