Torrential rains, bursting rivers, cyclones, coastal surges - Bangladesh is at the sharp end of climate change.
People from rural areas pour into the capital Dhaka escaping flooding that has destroyed not only their homes but their livelihoods too. A population of 14 million is expected to increase to 50 million … miles of slums are home to these refugees who live quite literally piled on top of each-other.
Whilst we've all seen pictures of Bangladeshis knee deep in water none of the film crew were prepared for the scenes of families living for weeks in stinking water, and mothers unable to find clean water for their children. This city is submerged - the slums are scenes from 'Inferno'.
And yet, despite everything, people seem to have clung onto their spirit. Kushta, a mother of 4 works a ten hour shift laying bricks. She has a good idea of what global warming has done for her 'my home is flooded, my husband cannot work on his land.' She waves her fists in the air demanding the government find help for families like hers'. An old man driven from his home by floods is clear about where the fault lies 'the rich nations have taken too much for too long, if they continue to ignore our rights we will take to the streets and fight for what is ours'
There are hundreds of voices like theirs'. They are loud and clear. We left feeling quite certain that the time has come for governments around the world to listen and to act.
Bangladesh is one of the countries most seriously affected by climate change. It is constantly battered by cyclones, coastal surges, overflowing rivers and violent downpours. Climate refugees from across the country are pouring into the capital, Dhaka. But Bangladesh is fighting back. In rural areas communities are developing new and ingenious ways of coping with climate change to help people survive, easing the pressure on the country's capital.
