Bangladesh: Reporting on Water

We will be heading off for Bangladesh on Aug. 22 to explore the "ground zero" of climate change and innovative adaptive strategies they are developing there. We will be traveling to Bhola, a large coastal island that has reportedly lost half its land mass over the past decade, to report on the "children of climate change" whose families are battling to stay there. We have just secured an interview with Dr. Atiq Rahman, one of the world's leading climatologists, who in the past has accused the West of "climatic genocide" for its carbon emissions that are widely understood to be the leading cause of global warming.
