Climate change forcing people to migrate to urban areas
More and more people are migrating to urban areas because of climate change as it is causing frequent natural disasters, making the disaster-prone areas unlivable, experts said at a seminar yesterday. It would be difficult to provide employment for the increasing number of migrants, but the government remains indifferent to this issue, they said. Refugee and Migratory Movements Research Unit (RMMRU) organised the seminar on 'Climate change, migration and Bangladesh' at the RC Majumder Auditorium at Dhaka University.
