Model Mongla, the city in Bangladesh that is a hope for climate refugees

CHENNAI – It might seem like a port city like any other, which employs 150,000 people by exporting jute, leather, tobacco, shrimp and frozen fish. One hundred kilometers further south, along the Pusur, the Bangladeshi effluent of the Ganges, is the Bay of Bengal, which has only the name of a gulf because it is the size of an ocean. It is a sea that gives life but also death, because there also hides an often invisible monster that at these altitudes manifests itself more cruelly than elsewhere: climate change.
