Video: Bangladesh – Rising Tides Force Climate Migration

Climate migration has already begun in Bangladesh. Eight

months after the last cyclone hit, huge areas are still flooded and 200,000 people live in make-shift huts in the high grounds. Many others have migrated to the capital city of Dhaka.

In the first of two videos at Guardian.co.uk, two families struggle to cope with their new environmental reality – one abandoning the village, the other struggling on against the tides. You can watch part two of this video here.
