On a warm November afternoon, Parul Haldar balanced precariously on the bow of a small wooden dinghy, pulling in a long net flecked with fish from the swirling brown river.
Just behind her loomed the dense forest of the Sundarbans, where some 10,000 square km (6,213 sq miles) of tidal mangroves straddle India’s northeastern coastline and western Bangladesh and open into the Bay of Bengal.
Four years ago, her husband disappeared on a fishing trip deep inside the forest. Two fishermen with him saw his body being dragged into the undergrowth – one of a rising number of humans killed by tigers as they venture into the wild.

On 3 December 2020, climate experts and local management teams from the 50 UNESCO marine World Heritage sites met online in an effort to accelerate replication of initial successes in assessing climate vulnerability.
The online meeting was the fourth edition in a new digital exchange platform that was launched by the World Heritage Centre in March 2020.
During the meeting, experts from Australia’s James Cook University presented a newly developed rapid assessment tool called the
Climate Vulnerability Index or CVI. The tool allows World Heritage managers and local communities to identify key climate threats to the Outstanding Universal Value of sites and set priorities for action. The tool helps local teams to take a more hands-on approach to assessing climate impacts while limiting costs and time for implementation.
