Bangladesh – Rohingya Context
Like the Philippines, Bangladesh faces cyclones, floods, and heavy rainfall. Climate change is increasing the frequency and intensity of these hazards.
The most affected areas are coastal zones and the Rohingya camps in Cox’s Bazar. Refugee communities are highly vulnerable due to fragile shelters, deforested hills, and poor drainage.
Similar to mangrove restoration in the Philippines, Bangladesh uses tree planting, slope protection, and drainage improvement to reduce disaster risks. However, large-scale mangrove restoration is limited in camps.
The Government, UN agencies, and NGOs support communities through disaster preparedness, reforestation, early warning systems, and emergency assistance.
