Bangladesh

Bangladesh areas vulnerable to flooding

Key points on BangladeshI Bangladesh is among the countries that are

the most affected by climate change

I Frequent natural disasters loss of lifedamage to infrastructure and economicassets impacts on lives and livelihoods

I Floods tropical cyclones storm surges anddroughts are likely to become more frequentand severe in the coming years

I Lies in the delta of three of the largest riversin the world ndash the Brahmaputra the Gangesand the Meghna

I Mostly low and flat topography susceptibleto river and rainwater flooding

I More than 50 million of people still live inpoverty

I Many people live in remote or ecologicallyfragile parts of the country such as riverislands

I Approximately one quarter of the countryinundated each year

I The poorest and most vulnerable living in theexposed areas suffer the most

Meghna River

Meghna river flood plain area

Meghna river flood plain areaI Ideal case for examining relationship

between the climate change hazardand socio-economic vulnerability

I One of the highest flood hazard area inthe world

I One of the poorest and the mostflood-prone areas of Bangladesh

I Inhabited with more than four hundredthousand people

I Residents mostly farmers (farming ricewheat vegetables oil seeds)

I Heavy monsoon rainfall generatesexcessive flows in the rivers and causesfloods almost every year

I Suffered from devastating floods overthe past 20 years in 1988 1996 1998and 2004

Bangladesh Socio-Economic Vulnerability

I Poorer segments of society live closer to the river

I Inundation levels significantly higher for poorer households

I Impoverished face a higher risk of flooding and are more vulnerable

I The higher the exposure level and income inequality the less access to anatural resourses

I Average damage costs and coping capacity higher for wealthierhouseholds

I Households with higher income take preventive measures and havesignificantly lower damage costs

I Unequal income distributions in villages with higher risk exposure

I The least well prepared both in terms of household-level and communitylevel face the highest risk of flooding

I Floods tropical cyclones storm surges anddroughts are likely to become more frequentand severe in the coming years

I Lies in the delta of three of the largest riversin the world ndash the Brahmaputra the Gangesand the Meghna

I Mostly low and flat topography susceptibleto river and rainwater flooding

I More than 50 million of people still live inpoverty

I Many people live in remote or ecologicallyfragile parts of the country such as riverislands

I Inhabited with more than four hundredthousand people

I Residents mostly farmers (farming ricewheat vegetables oil seeds)

I Heavy monsoon rainfall generatesexcessive flows in the rivers and causesfloods almost every year

Bangladesh Socio-Economic Vulnerability

I Poorer segments of society live closer to the river

I Inundation levels significantly higher for poorer households

I Impoverished face a higher risk of flooding and are more vulnerable

I The higher the exposure level and income inequality the less access to anatural resourses

I Average damage costs and coping capacity higher for wealthierhouseholds

I Households with higher income take preventive measures and havesignificantly lower damage costs

I Unequal income distributions in villages with higher risk exposure

I The least well prepared both in terms of household-level and communitylevel face the highest risk of flooding

Bangladesh

Bangladesh areas vulnerable to flooding

Key points on BangladeshI Bangladesh is among the countries that are

the most affected by climate change

I Frequent natural disasters loss of lifedamage to infrastructure and economicassets impacts on lives and livelihoods

I Floods tropical cyclones storm surges anddroughts are likely to become more frequentand severe in the coming years

I Lies in the delta of three of the largest riversin the world ndash the Brahmaputra the Gangesand the Meghna

I Mostly low and flat topography susceptibleto river and rainwater flooding

I More than 50 million of people still live inpoverty

I Many people live in remote or ecologicallyfragile parts of the country such as riverislands

I Approximately one quarter of the countryinundated each year

I The poorest and most vulnerable living in theexposed areas suffer the most

Meghna River

Meghna river flood plain area

Meghna river flood plain areaI Ideal case for examining relationship

between the climate change hazardand socio-economic vulnerability

I One of the highest flood hazard area inthe world

I One of the poorest and the mostflood-prone areas of Bangladesh

I Inhabited with more than four hundredthousand people

I Residents mostly farmers (farming ricewheat vegetables oil seeds)

I Heavy monsoon rainfall generatesexcessive flows in the rivers and causesfloods almost every year

I Suffered from devastating floods overthe past 20 years in 1988 1996 1998and 2004

Bangladesh Socio-Economic Vulnerability

I Poorer segments of society live closer to the river

I Inundation levels significantly higher for poorer households

I Impoverished face a higher risk of flooding and are more vulnerable

I The higher the exposure level and income inequality the less access to anatural resourses

I Average damage costs and coping capacity higher for wealthierhouseholds

I Households with higher income take preventive measures and havesignificantly lower damage costs

I Unequal income distributions in villages with higher risk exposure

I The least well prepared both in terms of household-level and communitylevel face the highest risk of flooding

Particular impacts of flood hazards on human health

I temperature rise

Impacts of the Flood Hazards

General impacts of flood hazards on the population

I initial economic conditions (poor or non-poor)

I location (coastal or non-coastal rural or urban)

I gender and general health condition (capacity to resist illnesses stresses)

I reduced livelihood options (loss of agriculture restriction of movement)

Particular impacts of flood hazards on human health

I temperature rise

I degrading water quality as well as shortage leads to illnesses choleradiarrhea dysentery malaria and typhoid

I widespread malnutrition (due to shortage of water)

I women increased risks of the involuntary foetus abortion in the coastalareas due to rising salinity leading to hypertension
