It has been estimated that by 2050, one in every seven people in Bangladesh will be displaced by climate change. Specifically, with a projected 19.6 inch (50 cm) rise in sea level, Bangladesh may lose approximately 11% of its land by then, and up to 18 million people may have to migrate because of sea-level rise alone.The findings from the forecasts show that in the business-as-usual scenario, annual average temperatures will increase by 0.95 per cent, greenhouse gas emissions will increase 5.17 per cent and a total of 30,366,230 households will be affected by climate change in Bangladesh in 2030.If the current global climate does not change, Bangladesh's GDP will shrink by 2% by 2050. Since two-thirds of the country is less than 15 feet above sea level, at least 20% of Bangladesh will be submerged if the sea level rises another three feet.
