w. ah, the thunder bangs, man gray forest in the far south of bangladesh is one of the most vulnerable regions in the world to climate change. many residents live literally at the water's edge. when sea levels rise in a tropical storm, the dike saw breached and waves rush inland. locals do their best to reinforce the defensive, but it's a thankless never ending task. mm . every year in bangladesh, an average 700000 people are displaced by natural disasters. due to

global warming, bangladesh is at risk of losing more than 10 percent of its territory to rising sea levels. by 2053 of asians largest rivers drain into the sunday bands delta. this entire region in the south of the country is so low. lying that it could become completely submerged. it's projected that by 2015, 26 minion bangladesh in his will be displaced by tidal surges and rising sea levels . but the interior of the country is also at risk. increasingly frequent storms, compounded by violent monsoons, caused gigantic floods that even impact the 21000000 inhabitants of the capitol, darker from the north, to the south of the country, rivers,

repeatedly swell, and burst their banks. will allow de banu one of those settled. i bought it from melissa water rosen, rose. it was like a torrent flowing through the house. the whole house got lost. come though i used to like a certain. it's resulted in millions of climate refugees flocking to the capital in search of whatever work they can find. there was a billing i and 2 to 3 euros a day. that's it. some find work in clothing, factories, bangladesh as being called, the world's sewing factory. for 1000000 workers here produce jeans, t shirts and shoes worn by people across the western world. but the manufacture of these cheap clothes comes at a price for the environment. every day, tons of toxic waste water are dumped into the natural surroundings. in the long run, annoyed causes gums of despite constituting a public health hazard,

the industry is thriving and has been a major engine for economic growth in bangladesh. a new middle and upper class has a matched swimming pool. is one of the most beautiful anywhere and go shut it on. and many of them keep to invest in real estate. but if the price is high package, i don't know. the country is even on course to be removed from the group of least developed countries by 2024. and thanks to dedicated entrepreneurs, the 1st model companies are now already emerging. people working and green factories will not want to leave them because of the sound working conditions even ship breaking yards, notorious environmental pollutants on now going green, everything that fall. all the wizard sent for the governor, bangladesh. he is confronted with a myriad of problems,

but there are also stories that inspire home our investigation into the consequences of global warming in bangladesh begins in dhaka year after year between 530-0000 people who have lost everything in the wake of natural disasters migrate to the capital in search of work. they arrived daily by the dozens at the port or the train station. to day, deka is one of the most congested and densely populated cities on the planet. most climate refugees are housed in makeshift hotels located in the many slums of the mega sitting. all of them had to leave their homes with a minimum of belongings. ah. is that one?

yeah. love to go, but i left with this little bag that's just a few clothes and a warm blanket. if it's all that i have, please, there was a will and worked among cabana lea is 65 years old and arrived a few weeks ago. this is his new home one room measuring about 40 square meters. chad with 35 other people. his dramatic story reflects the experiences of many here me, but i'm see my house collapse a dozen times whatever, all due to erosion each time, then washed away by the river love. and each time i had to gather up some earth and straw to rebuild it. and what about that was luckily i called been i li, pays one your a 20 a day for food and lodging. i look at the conditions, we're living in here, 30 to 40 people sleeping in the same room. we lie on top of each other and it's

full of bed bugs. what, what, what can we do? we have to make a living. music looked over. he found what writing a cycle ritual, which he rents for one euro, 20 per dang. i would love what is a rich off of the lady? the climate refugee works over 12 hours a day for 3 months straight before returning to his family. oh, wow. how does that, how i love, i just earn 10 cents 10 cents for a ride from door reaper to the other end of the market. i love out of what i see. what it was that a month after paying for his accommodation and the ritual. he's left with between 2 and 5 euros. his bendable income from about 30 rights a day. quoted was if you ask somebody, so rather it's an incredibly demanding job. carting people around. this is

exhausting. will you need a lot of energy? oh, so why? every 3 or 4 days, cool, by many sends the little money he manages to save up to his wife and his 2 sons, who are still studying the girls are the ones that all do i said to them, boys keep studying, no matter how hard things are as long as i live, i'll provide for your studies. but finish your education, please. just watch now. well, local possible i don't want it makes me sad that i can finance their education as much as i'd like to. they're working on to very difficult conditions. i send them everything i can is gonna be over there on now. believe to be 6000000 climate refugees like colbin alley in

bangladesh. the ritual driver is from curry graham. another region that's been hit hard by flooding. curry graham is located far away from the sea in the north of the country, but here the devastation comes from china rivers, like the brown, like we'll try in the ganges or patman as it's known in bangladesh. the melting of himalayan ice has caused the rivers to overflow and asked their volume and velocity increases. the erosion of their banks has accelerated to alarming levels. every year, thousands of houses are destroyed and entire appendages disappear under the water. the island of carrier in the brown. my poor child was hit taunt recently despite

the sandbags deployed to protect it. the last thing is it a valenzuela. a one of the flood was 2 months ago. the water rose really high and the currents carried everything away. bags were put in place to protect us, but they didn't hold and all the houses disappeared in one day with it about english. oh, yes. most of the stores and businesses still standing on now closed and not much is left of the school that used to be attended by up to $900.00 students. his school dar, this school day iraq on with on zillow, will like around 11, the buildings formed a semi circle. there was a fence and the entrance gate was over. they're gonna get lucky. the buildings formed a you shape with trees planted round it. you, the school yard was over there with the classrooms positioned around it, islam, santa washer garcia of the 14 classrooms. only 2 are still in use. the

succession of disasters has destroyed schools and businesses and also farmland, causing the poverty rate to saw families finding it increasingly difficult to feed and raise their children due to the financial burden. this has led to girls being married off at a very young age, while their husbands are even paid for taking them between 501000 euros. an existing social is to you, exacerbated by global warming, devils, fish, and mid a number of the pupils in this class of 9th graders are already married. jasmine has just turned 15, not a bit that version of course either the school phase and my parents low income or death. yeah. go. yeah, that's what i found a husband for me,

but he never did you know him? no he came to see me unexpectedly when we got married on the same day at dusk law, her husband is a young farmer also from the island just mean didn't want to get married, but wasn't given a choice yet the don't have that i was married. so young, of course i'm sad, but what's the use of being sad because nothing i can do and this is what the most of these young women will soon have to leave school if their husband can't afford to pay for their education. i would say i'd like to be a teacher, but my in laws might not want me to study version of our the b officially child marriage is like hers are prohibited. so they take place in secret

nonetheless, one family who has just married or their daughter agreed to meet us. sabina is 13 years old and is in 6th grade. who is that on the one that her husband is 21 didn't have a choice. i actually wanted to study, grow up and start working before getting married in need of a vehicle. a lump was you bought or a little bit ago? did you run it? she'd been older. it would have been difficult to find her husband. so we were happy to have found a good man for her. we wouldn't have done it otherwise. if we weren't poor, we could pay for our daughter's education and she'd be able to find a good job, but was simply to pull over sabina, her husband worked some distance away from the island. he's agreed to let her stay with her parents for now and has promised to pay for her schooling. the teenagers mother doesn't work and her father,

a farmer has lost his field. and the wooden others opposite. honestly, that is because the floods destroyed everything and drove up the price of rice, hutcher, and used to call 7 euros. now it's double that the water is destroyed, our rice reordered. am sabrina's father has realised that his daughter is unhappy and says he regrets his decision or hello and of that up, by the level that my daughter is still young at 13 years old, at 11 or 12, it's even worse. fertile sure is not good. although having some girls are apparently married at the age of 9 research in bangladesh has shown that mothers under the age of 14 are 5 times like he had to die during childbirth. and those in the early twenties. these planned a stein and a legal child marriages are not registered or recognized anywhere. this was

confirmed to us by the office of muslim marriages. oh, i didn't roll again. i did not register, child marriages. these marriages are organized secretly in the villages. we have no control over in moms who perform them. we work in the office. so i don't want to comment on this issue, isn't it? we said jamiracle bubbles, daddy, according to unicef, $1.00 and $2.00 women in bangladesh, al married before reaching their 18th birthday, the legal minimum age, half of them will be under the age of 15. while compounding is used that threaten the future of these young girls, the destructive care of water also poses a different and deadly danger to children. more than $14000.00 children drowning bangladesh every year. boy, today, 123. crowning is one of the leading causes of death among

children in the country. won't bug with high, or now we moved to right on like this, what we're, what i'm a bigger dialogue. so hack has been working as a swimming instructor for 5 years from america. that was great. a big chair please works for an n g o that uses bamboo came to construct improvised pools in ponies. they . so that's enough. he no i, he made it. i think he's learning 5, you want a round of applause. so heck is also worried about the dangerously high water levels. i did the leak when i read about tick arnold. it's rising all the time on record. there's always water in the lower lying regions. if they go to people, there are really suffering, want to go on and the children are not saying each other young about them. they bought them love it in there and one and he didn't feel the situation is now very complicated. need they wanted mm mm.

chaplain and up do live close to the pond where the swimming lessons are held. a few months ago that only daughter died from drowning. wherever the la they fell in over there with the water high since our a what i was 30 little ah, i ye shall, was 5 years old. ah, her father had given her a little money to buy candy with his 7 year old cousin. he also died children and they went to the store to buy some suites. and when she came back, they shared them before going off to play ben hill whenever i was reading the koran . when they were done eating, they went outside and i continued reading. i heard a noise close the koran and ran over. that's when i saw my child. oh i ye shan't is perry a few steps away from the pond?

abdul visits her grave regularly. it's right there. boys in the rear. i'm seen the above mother. think of her a lot will think of her as long as we live. she was our beloved daughter and a very friendly child. mother, michael dabbler. he gave her amount of affection and love made us. how shall i brochure or han a been to last last loosely in a quantity oh, in a short space of time, bangladesh has become the most polluted country in the world. the historic center of deca has become an open and dumping ground where garbage is sometimes dumped directly into the rivers. in ocoee, roy is an investigative journalist, specializing in environmental issues. i talked with very old people and they're

saying there's forget, tricia, there's today. so, but now it is, if a big bobby, i think you big in all ladies sick, within half an hour in penalties, eyes, fashion, consumers around the world are also responsible for this pollution. the boy from iraq, people from other developed countries like america and i'll hibler from not there the allies on not, but i would say they're also contributing to already revolution because in all the all or is one dip roads and new to the to blows and nothing a c. so if we want to blow them that there, so you're boiler, bring our he worked with 5000 factories, generating 30000000000 euros in annual revenue bangladesh as the world's 2nd largest clothing manufacturer just behind china this afternoon. pinokie heads out

to the suburbs of deca. he's heard about a new environmental scandal linked to the nether industry. the dallas wary river is in danger, and died is already the or lydia toilet. although the worst that did or did about legally did pinokie hopes his investigation will help save the re ah, in recent years, 185 countries have set up shop along its banks. 80 percent of the hides produced here are exported and supply the ready to wear footwear and leather goods industries world wide. a waste water plant has been built here but has insufficient capacity and reportedly empties its tanks into the dallas warry, including untreated sewage. arriving at the scene, pinokie has immediate company. as the security guard trails him,

the lead he received appears to be correct. this pipe leaps directly from the waste water treatment plant is almost a retreated bucket of water. i got my gun safe in my b. i is that this order is not too big. this is pure block water and it is a stinky. so it is polluting that he was not only a group of officials from the plan to peer and confront the journalist whether it wasn't for the clinic. who and couldn't believe the person you wasn't. the one working with the manager tries to convince pinokie that these discharges are an exception to almost every year. we do a purification procedure. that's what's going on right now. so it's only once a year that you dump it like this as well. so that what is of yes the journalist is

not convinced i don't think there's through i gun see the color of the water like an esmerelda walker and i think it is full of it. according to his research, the effluent treatment plant has numerous flaws. problem is sometimes dust is from here, they produce a more liquid list than the capacity. so, mid in that time, this same value, it doesn't work, sol, solved the worst. it has to go directly to that even another if pinokie discoveries is that the plant cannot process certain highly dangerous, heavy metals such as chromium which makes leather more tear resistance during production. this would be not design door in electric chromium. so

it buck williams comes that it goes through that eva and it goes through the open enrollment. then the chrome, yum will be in the fish. then the blossoms high in the long run for the seminar visitors, but in the long run and wait for the skins. when absorbed or inhaled chromium can cause cancer, they were spirit retract the nasal cavity, the kidneys, and the bladder. after several requests, a tannery finally agreed to open its doors to us. it's so stinking it up while they're got these. heinz been here for a long time or if they just arrived. this is our latest delivery inside. we noticed that the workers are not wearing any protective gear.

the war, very football is forced to elizabeth warfield. we had a hand without an issue. so there, so, you know, and linda visited with highly proxy than we thought. so this is the home for vaudeville health. obviously the manager of the tannery tries to play down the health hazard. i think going to do the chemicals i use here, a lot dangerous moroni to a small extent because if i know my, than i can't say we used non, isn't it? but it's really not much of the problem. so we don't wear masks or protective clothing or minors. another claim the journalist isn't buying. maybe there's thought they were told that this guy goes, i'm not harmful, but they're sort of the, he believed. but i don't think so. and there are further surprises in store

as pinokie roy leaves the tannery tractors, loaded with leather scraps, catch his attention. they're better than bringing it here. so i'm going to do 200 meters further on the report to witnesses. a frightening spectacle. i have all ready to go out of a ton of leather waist saturated in toxic chemicals being turned in me open just a few meters from the river. by it a country disposed of the summer. l. lelona, nevada. as now the place isn't ready. how long have you been doing this 2 months? is it a lemme what do you do? not because they're not supposed to dump it out in this way. so it was a,

basically a low land up sort of bond. so they have filled up that bond already, so now they're dumping it yet. so i'm worried that what will happen after 6 months or after 3 months. so maybe this fed dumping it down via the air full of toxic fumes, is practically anew breathable. already i'm feeling some headache you say what about the ecological consequences for the river? ah, we've learned that fish are in scarce supply around the tannery to confirm this. we go to a fishing village located down stream from the factories for the men here are fishermen. but their nets has been dry for months. i can't fish any more than the tannery so pouring toxic chemicals into the river.

you can't catch anything any more, right? so my nets are hung up in storage at home. if you have been doe and his wife, pray every dang ye for an improvement in their fortunes, hulu. the shade, why would it glory to you? my lord? when will you deliver us from our suffering and pain them roughly? not a cost a ticket. the lord deliver us from our sorrows. was another day funny now to some water, the river is not clean. how can my husband work? if he doesn't earn any money? how can he clothe else and keep his children fed that he couldn't come before the 10 aires were built, gab indo earned 10 to 20 euros a day. these days, or jobs in the fields barely bring in 5 euros of the 100 families who used to live here. only 15 remain. meanwhile,

mother is the country's 2nd largest industry in terms of exports worth close to 1000000000 euros in revenue a year. leather and clothing. factories like these employ more than 4000000 people nationwide for a number of years now they've been driving bangladesh is extraordinary. annual growth rate of over 7 percent. the country is rapidly developing, but the environment is rarely a priority. bangladesh meets rooms to build them. an astonishing but environmentally hazardous practice has emerged google, it is not in a far come here and we can do a lot of it all to melt the tar worker's burn tons of fabric scraps.

got remo, they make sure you mix it properly a lot more. log out to them. go lab is the site manager. oh, the limited roads into the far oh ella, georgia. these are leftovers and i was annoyed with a method that is environmentally harmful but widely used. oh, it was a there are lots of roads like this being built as there was no shortage of work i own across the country. lucas are paid 60 euros a month by the government for this physically demanding work amidst the toxic fumes . many have health problems last year and one of our number i have to work, we have to eat bananas to relieve the pain. when you call your spit his black, if

a doctor cut us in half, he'd find on the black inside, i will up every item of clothing made in bangladesh indirectly contributes to the construction of roads. the country's textile mills produce approximately $500000.00 tons of waste per year. more than half of which is not recyclable. big international brands, such as gap, zaragoza, and bash go up behind these pap, right scraps. but there are signs of a bright future in the bangladesh textile industry. a growing number of companies are going green. after weeks of negotiation, one such firm opens its doors to us. it's a 2 hour drive from data and employ $7300.00 people.

in the industry has been wary of journalists since the 2013 ran up plaza disaster when a dilapidated 8 story building housing, several government workshops collapsed. 1135 people were killed. most of them seamstresses. the mill, we visit is a model factory which suggests that part of the country has changed since the shock of round plaza. they were, as you live, one of the directors of the factory, the owners, the by toe p group for we have a specially trained officer on each floor in charge of fire safety. there's also a 1st aid teen ready for deployment. in the case of

a major incident with sick i'm the guy voted the group produces clothing for de kathlyn pro mod and h and m. this factory has been awarded the coveted platinum status by the united states green building council. it's one of the greenest clothing companies in the world. the fact he washes over 60000 garments a day. so saving water was a big priority. sir, as you will, is accompanied by macbook, who's responsible for sustainability. minimize the water way to do this or the mission, and are you doing? same sound of 70 dug of a water bottle. you'd gotten worse and worse also to save water and reduce chemical use. the artificial, where of the genes this now performed by laser outside the waste

water is all re processed. this water is bomb. our a looked channel. this is actually the men are always the one. i'm here a lot more. we're finally you study been better. while most of the recycled water is discharged into the nearby sewer, 10 percent is re used in the immediate vicinity. so some of this water flows into the tanks and we user to irrigate our trees and also for flushing toilets, violet or what? but what i need to provide a ye foot mm bangladesh is now home to $145.00 green factories, $44.00 of which have achieved platinum status. another notorious polluter is also moving in the right direction. bangladesh is the world leader in ship recycling. one and 2 of all the worlds decommission

ships and was it fly from the vast sheet, had gone beach here they are dismantled by 40 different shipyards. most of them taking no regard for either the environment or working conditions to day. it's almost impossible for journalists to visit any of these shipyards. the association of shipyard owners is toot an unambiguous circ kinnen, or there's a risk of work site safety, being jeopardized by an outsider, taking surreptitious photos with their cellphone or under these circumstances. shipyard managements are asked to ensure that outside was cannot enter the site or liaison, the local chairman of the independent workers party secured access for us by

claiming we with foreign investors. ah, officially, we hid to see if there's a possibility of modernizing the site. joe, are you doing? where's the boss? or do think says the manager of the shipyard, what they'd been trying to hide from outside as is the complete lack of environmental protection measures and safety precautions for the workers at this site, oil thief directly into the ground. while asbestos found in large quantities on older ships is handled in a totally irresponsible manner of as best postcolonial. what do you do with asbestos? yeah. room learn a little. we sell part of it. barry the rest there are inspections by the

environmental authorities. so we very discreetly inc. practice that is illegal. although the sale of asbestos is not banned in bangladesh, asbestos waste has to be treated. and the workers here are wearing almost to new protective clothing people and do to be unworthy rules the him, some warden laws the from what you know, the leg, somebody's died every year about 20 workers die and hundreds are injured on these dirty, dismantling sites. as they're called, it's only those who have nothing left to lose who agree to testify? if healthy workers speak up, they risk losing their jobs. along with the owners have built up a network of police, local representatives and other influential people that are enrolled on i. so

if a walker is too talkative, they'll face immediate reprisals or a destroying the environment is no big deal. covering up accidents is routine for them all by them. on a report, on factual alarm, the politician who's been accompanying us takes us to meet a worker before his accident tsar, what worked for 30 years on various construction sites on them for a man. i fell off a ladder at work on my foot got caught in a run and i broke my leg today. a bit longer. he still has metal plates and screwed loose in his no one leg. i didn't the company provide you with protective clothing. i just wanted to remind you, do your home i and i wanna know there was no such thing available. when the

inspector from the environmental department came by, they gave us a few things like a helmet and sometimes goggles. so the hand, but that was only for half an hour along the line that when i thought about one of the other one by the avenue in san juan, has received no assistance since the accident to support the family. his son also started working at a ship breaking yard recently. ah, but not all hope is lost for the workers. after weeks of negotiations, the only certifiably clean shipyard agreed to open its doors to us. inside we discovered another world, ha. 5 safety is paramount. you need to be alert at all times and to wear a helmet and goggles. i just keep in mind that danger doesn't strike every day, but when it does, there is no warning in one accident can mean a lifetime of misery. p h, p shipyard, safety, environmental protection,

and work a well being. i taken very seriously mangled trees there will give mangle 4 times a year. so all my people who are here, we'll get mangle 4 times a year as a bit and he jenny, them, the one you, he rule is the out manager. and also the son of the owner, a businessman who invested $10000000.00 to turn the site into a showcase ship breaking yard. even if it wasn't always plain sailing. love of the people used to work without her protective dumb woods. so they used to just gum, oh, wedding flip flops. so when we started giving them the boots, this it is very hot. we don't want to. edwards, we are very happy with the flip flops. so we had to train them. we had before them and slowly obadiah. they understood the importance of wearing protective equip, visiting the hub and the site is built on

a huge impermeable concrete slab. the hazardous materials collected are carefully listed on a board accessible to all with the name of a respective specialist to be contacted should a problem arise? what kind of hazardous waste was generated? last bunk, saw where glass wallace burst doors, brain tubes bar medical ways. so all deborah was with me, i have written here at p h p. workers earn between 30 and 40 percent more than elsewhere. these modern construction sites and factories with higher wages and better conditions are also involved in the emergence of a new middle class in the country. in the new up and coming neighborhoods in the north of dhaka, high end stores and buildings with modern amenities are constantly springing um. ah.

solid is the is it? where is the apartment this way place us hussein in the real estate agent? is it there? hello. what are lordy? here you have a pool. and on this side the reception hi. uh for today he'll be showing his client, a lawyer, married to a fighter pilot, one of the nicest departments in his portfolio. a been a, you have the living room and the dining family living there you have the kitchen. the apartment has over 300 square meters of space and has several balconies. wow. i can see the sky and the view. it makes me really happy. the client seems interested and asks about the price rises. how much does it cost?

what's your offer? price tom rate on $2400.00 euro's 1000 square meter. yes. so 720000 euros. in total, that's expensive. but right now, business is good. i'm under the shill giamvaldo with our son is a percentage of the population belonging to the upper middle class is rising sharply. send my last class for 6 apartments in 6 months here in gulshan time ocean, one charter workman kinetic solutions to fully convince his client per sane. takes her up to the roof, is for me, this pool is one of the most beautiful anywhere and go shot one day on him. shonda . teresa jump great. how about i jump in a nice i dear in this heat. while the countries middle and upper classes continue to flourish, a significant section of the population still live below the poverty line. and

according to the world bank, if drastic action is not taken soon, and temperatures continue to rise by 2050 bangladesh will have more than 20000000 climate refugees. mm . ah char, interaction, excuse me. it is said to help mitigate the effects of climate change and regulate the greenhouse effect. what's so special about this raw material and
