Bangladesh's coastal regions like Cox's Bazar and Satkhira, alongside Dhaka, grapple with intensifying flooding, erosion, and storms fueled by climate change. Cyclones ravage low-lying deltas, eroding 3-10 meters of Cox's Bazar beaches yearly and displacing thousands, while salinity intrusion devastates agriculture. Satkhira endures chronic waterlogging from surges, and Dhaka faces fluvial floods from river overflows. Mitigation includes embankments, mangrove restoration, and early warnings, yet maintenance lags heighten risks for dense populations. Urgent adaptive measures are vital to curb escalating humanitarian crises.
