Well show you the urban landscapes that might just rival and cool ones. Im sumi so much going to and this is news asia thank you for joining us now we start with a closer look at the growing Climate Crisis affecting asias most vulnerable communities environmental disasters are threatening vast swaths of land in low lying coastal areas bangladesh is among the hardest hit it is densely populated and has weak infrastructure so a psych loans and rising sea levels are particularly devastating there and its. Children who are bearing the brunt the United Nations childrens agency says the lives and futures of 19000000 young people are at risk because of Climate Change will these children and their families leave the next big wave of climate refugees. In the future going to exist rising sea levels caused by Climate Change are gradually washing this island off the map. The People Living here are at the front line of the Climate Change problem they can try moving their makeshift homes to Higher Ground but also met lead a no its a losing battle. Low lying bangladesh with its many rivers and deltas is especially prone to the effects of Climate Change. With livelihoods at risk societys most fun rable bearing the brunt all our lives a good way a lad and me to a very poor family if i dont work i wont be able to feed myself harder than. The problem has already forced millions of bangladeshis to move inland to cities like the Capital Dhaka but here work in decent Living Conditions are in short supply marks in the slums is especially difficult for children they have to leave the areas because their parents have nothing else to live on they have to end up in big cities where they become vulnerable they have to work in too risky area for girls it becomes an issue of child bride they become sex workers sometimes its a big issue for children. Its a cruel irony that those most vulnerable to Climate Change are the ones the least responsible for causing it now its up to the authorities to swing into action. Into all our development of ours of the government bonds programs that while this is. If we can. Then model the development would be the
target. As wilson levels continue to rise so too will the number of bangladeshis internal migrants the question is what will be waiting for them when they reach their destination and we can speak to Christina Cloud from unicef which issued that Report Warning about the dangers facing millions of children in bangladesh and she joins us from Dhaka Hi Christina why is that that children in particular are affected by Climate Change. Hi thank you for the opportunity to speak with here in the children affected firstly because of the sheer numbers for example in bangladesh you have a 1000000 children who live in and around River Systems that are at increased risk of producing life threatening life threatening floods so this means its about children. Its about also about their health so when we have. Any time when we have a shortage. Of water which is the case and in floods and droughts. The likely that the children drink. Water increases the region so so this in turn the increases. Diseases that children particularly Vulnerable Children such as Dario Diseases and ok. Ok so theyre directly affected by these effects of Climate Change as youre saying we also heard in your report or saw in your report rather that it does also lead some families to pushing their daughters into earlier marriages why is that an effect of Climate Change. Well if you think about yes so if we think about families when they think in an area affected by Saltwater Intrusion for example so their lands are less and less able to sustain the familys life the words. This means also that the area might be
affected places like loans which again and again the growth in the families assets such as that house and Climbing Equipment or so on so the family with a child made main move to or may move to the city meaning that their selves. In the new surrounding also without income. Areas and so families might. Consider. To have children marry there instead of because theyre not to their Educational Opportunities and they are not able to fund their their school whose words are with entire communities being wiped out and we see now that bangladesh already has 6000000 Climate Migrants tell us about the impact of Climate Change really has had on the country as a whole. Yeah i mean the challenges are enormous we have 1x2ww
children who live. River flats. Now in children that live in coastal areas that are that are regularly struck by cyclones and 2 thirds of the country are below or. Below 5 meter about sea level so these regions you see increasing poverty you see the lives that are not that are not sufficient to sustain a family. Or be able to provide for for schooling for children so you are also seeing undermining opportunities of children that will impact the whole of their whole lives in unity of education besides only thats why so so this means also in the long term. That. The workforce the Economic Impact will continue even beyond. The immediate event of migration like
the immediate event of a disaster all right Christina Clouds from unicef joining us from bangladesh thank you so much for your analysis from cyclons and rising sea levels in bangladesh to a deadly heat wave in Neighboring India and maybe parts of the Country Temperatures are soaring which is above 40 degrees celsius for 32. 00 days the record is 33. 00 days the state of bihar has been hit especially hard more than 180 people there have died from the severe hot spell in the capital delhi temperatures are so high that officials have issued a red alert Indias Health minister is now warning people not to leave their homes until the temperatures fall.

By filtering out reflections from the vegetation the Technology Enables scientists to see through even the stake is jungle canopy. We
can pinpoint certain areas of interest that. We maybe havent explored before rather than having to walk the whole entire landscape and it saves a lot of time and money and its really a great advancement in archaeology with this technology. That together it is being processed in c. M. Rape and loaded on to smartphones for use in the field.
