Bangladesh: Climate Disaster Ground Zero and Solution Hot Spot
Bangladesh, a country highly vulnerable to climate change, has become a hot spot for climate solutions. The country uses a mix of technology and community solutions to save lives on the frontlines of climate change. Bangladesh relies on a human chain of communication that relies both on high-tech forecasting and low-tech relationships to monitor water levels at rivers, streams, and reservoirs across the country. The government has partnered with cellphone providers to extend 4G coverage to areas that might not even have electricity or plumbing, and the country is using indigenous knowledge to cope and survive.
