In 69 percent of Bangladesh’s coastal districts, poorer individuals are more threatened by climate change than their wealthier counterparts. According to a recent study published in the journal „Nature Climate Change“, the consequences of flooding are even worse for those affected by poverty in every single district when it comes to access to critical infrastructure. Disparities in access to education are most pronounced between the rich and the poor. Additionally, impoverished individuals have fewer resources to relocate or implement protective measures as extreme weather events become more severe and frequent due to climate change. As the authors state, they are caught in a poverty trap.
