Vulnerability Mapping Activity
Coastal Bangladesh experiences frequent and intense climate hazards combined with high exposure, strong dependence on natural resources, widespread poverty, and limited adaptive capacity. Recurrent cyclones and salinity intrusion cause long-term livelihood loss and displacement, making vulnerability persistently high despite adaptation efforts.
Although Dhaka has better access to infrastructure, services, and emergency response than rural coastal areas, extreme population density, informal housing, and inadequate urban planning significantly increase exposure to climate hazards. Adaptive capacity exists but is uneven, making vulnerability particularly high for low-income and marginalized communities.
