-
Two billion people depend on them for drinking water...
-
And to irrigate their crops, as in Bangladesh.
-
On the delta of the Ganges and Brahmaputra,
-
Bangladesh is directly affected by the phenomena...
-
Occurring in the Himalayas and at sea level.
-
This is one of the most populous and poorest countries in the world.
-
It is already hit by global warming.
-
The combined impact of increasingly dramatic floods and hurricanes...
-
Could make a third of its landmass disappear.
-
When populations are subjected to these devastating phenomena,
-
They eventually move away.
-
Wealthy countries will not be spared.
