The Asian Development Bank (ADB) and the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) have prepared the report. The paper says Bangladesh has been subject to much focus in the academic debate around climate migration, adding that the area around the Bay of Bengal is one of zones in high risks due to climate change. Firstly, despite the northern part of the country sitting at altitudes up to 105 metres above the sea level, most elevations are less than 10 metres while the vulnerable coastal areas sink at sea level. The report suggests climate change-influenced sea level rise would force displacement of a huge population. Bangladesh is a country with a big portion of its population drawing livelihood and delivering goods through the agriculture sector.
