We are helpless in the hand of nature. Aren't we? May be we should think before the catastrophes are on the footstep.
A fifth of Bangladesh’s territory is likely to go under water if sea levels rise by one meter. This is expected to happen by the end of this century.
There is concern over the fate of Bangladesh’s population. India surrounds the country on three sides and the fence is boxing its people in. Some of the most vulnerable coastal districts in Bangladesh are Khulna, Satkhira, and Bagerhat, which lie along India’s border. Where will the people go when their homes and crops go under water?
The impact of rising sea level on India could be as devastating as it is predicted to be on Bangladesh. Indeed, some studies have listed India along with Bangladesh as among the countries at “extreme risk” from climate change.

Dutch way of tackling sea level rise:
Like cheese in France or cars in Germany, climate change is a business in the Netherlands. Month in, month out, delegations from as far away as Jakarta, Ho Chi Minh City, New York and New Orleans make the rounds in the port city of Rotterdam. They often end up hiring Dutch firms, which dominate the global market in high-tech engineering and water management.
That’s because from the first moment settlers in this small nation started pumping water to clear land for farms and houses, water has been the central, existential fact of life in the Netherlands, a daily matter of survival and national identity. No place in Europe is under greater threat than this waterlogged country on the edge of the Continent. Much of the nation sits below sea level and is gradually sinking. Now climate change brings the prospect of rising tides and fiercer storms.
