Internally Displaced Populations Caused by the Riverbank Erosion in Bangladesh. An Emergence to Bring under Protection at Environmental Refugee Category
Author: Nasima Talukder Monmoon
Publisher: GRIN Verlag
ISBN: 3346500683
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 44
Book Description
Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2021 in the subject Law - Public Law / Constitutional Law / Basic Rights, grade: A*, , language: English, abstract: The study has aimed to bring a dynamic balance between the national and international policy to protect the displaced people. The study has engaged with normative research methodology mixed with descriptive and critical approach. The outcomes of the study identified those river erosion victims such as the Internally Displaced Populations (IDPs) necessities to treat as environmental migrant as well as to recognise as climate refugee. The study recommends that besides the damage restoration fund, the GHG emitting developed countries have to take the responsibility of climate-displaced population by providing them environmental refugee status. River erosion is one of the most common crises of Ganges delta from ancient era where Bangladesh has no effective policy or management strategy for the internally displaced populations although there is a successful legislation from eighteen century to protect the property rights of the victims of riverbank erosion. The concurrent terrible features of climate change on Bangladesh pointed to the increasing magnitude of cyclone, drought, erosion, flood, storm and around one-third of the entire land surface of the country would go under water for one metre of sea level rise and almost thirty million people would have in the risk of displacement. Such uncertain features of climate change have incorporated the river erosion displaced populations in the same category of migrants where the intense of the crisis and disaster management strategy has huge gaps.

Misreading the Bengal Delta
Author: Camelia Dewan
Publisher: University of Washington Press
ISBN: 0295749628
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 239
Book Description
An unexpected story of climate change initiatives that threaten a complex waterscape Perilously close to sea level and vulnerable to floods, erosion, and cyclones, Bangladesh is one of the top recipients of development aid earmarked for climate change adaptation. Yet, to what extent do adaptation projects address local needs and concerns? Combining environmental history and ethnographic fieldwork with development professionals, rural farmers, and landless women, Misreading the Bengal Delta critiques development narratives of Bangladesh as a “climate change victim.” It examines how development actors repackage colonial-era modernizing projects, which have caused severe environmental effects, as climate-adaptation solutions. Seawalls meant to mitigate against cyclones and rising sea levels instead silt up waterways and induce drainage-related flooding. Other adaptation projects, from saline aquaculture to high-yield agriculture, threaten soil fertility, biodiversity, and livelihoods. Bangladesh’s environmental crisis goes beyond climate change, extending to coastal vulnerabilities that are entwined with underemployment, debt, and the lack of universal healthcare. This timely book analyzes how development actors create flawed causal narratives linking their interventions in the environment and society of the Global South to climate change. Ultimately, such misreadings risk exacerbating climatic threats and structural inequalities.
