It is also vital when small islands, drought-ridden countries and coastal countries like Bangladesh are highly vulnerable to climate change. The sharpest risks emerge when the impacts of climate change overburden these fragile states. If they fail to adapt to the effects of climate change, the risk of instability will increase, trapping them in a vicious cycle.
