The capital Dhaka is at risk due to the sea level rise. The city is going down to one and a half centimeters a year.
In addition to that, Dhaka is going to vanish by 2100. The statistics of various organizations indicate this fear.
Cities around the world are sinking due to climate change, construction of buildings beyond its capacity, lowering of water level under the ground.
The capital of Bangladesh is the 7th in this list. According to the report of World Economic Forum, 17 percent of the total land area of Bangladesh will be submerged in the Bay of Bengal by 2050. About 2 crore people are at risk of displacement.
Moreover, within 2100, the existence of the capital Dhaka may disappear by drowning in sea water. According to the statistics of an international organization called Ecological Policy Nexus, water level in the Bay of Bengal is increasing by 8 millimeters per year.
The height of the Bay of Bengal is increasing 10 times faster than other coastal regions of the world. It will have a far-reaching impact on millions of people.
