University of Dhaka and Sussex Centre for Migration Research present findings from their research, “Climate Change related Migration in Bangladesh.” Comprehensive policy needs to be developed to protect the rights of internal migrants. Based on the past ten years, the research projects that 9.6 million people will migrate out from regions exposed to riverbank erosion (1. 9m), inland flooding (5.4m) and coastal storm surges (2.3m) for the period 2011 to 2050. Slides provide information and some personal stories collected during the research. Along with local level adaptation programmes, voluntary labour migration both internal and international should be seen as an adaptation strategy.
