One of the coolest places I got to visit when I was in Bangladesh was Banojibi. This is an eco-village set up in the Sundarbans. It’s a place where people can learn climate adaptation techniques, and harness skills in sustainable farming. You’ll find guest houses where tourists can stay and get an in depth look at what makes the Sundarbans unique. You’ll find hydroponic training centers, acres of farmland and fish ponds. Once members hone their sustainable farming skills, they’ll be able to share them with the surrounding communities. This area is solar powered, there are Water ATMs where members can access clean water… you’ll find sites where people learn about weather and wildlife. And you’ll see storehouses where people are making products from the mangrove forests that they can sell. This enterprise helps them value the protection of their forest while providing an income. Bangladesh is an interesting country as far as climate is concerned. It holds unfortunate claims like Dhaka being the world’s most densely packed city, and one of the most polluted cities in the world. It’s impossible to make a list of the most climate vulnerable countries in the world without including Bangladesh, its tendency to sink underwater, and the threat of intensifying cyclones on its coast.
