In this photo Billal Hossain breaks his house and collects the last brick to shift to another place to settle. For the cause of climate change his house is washed away and he has nowhere to go now. Bangladesh is one of the country,s most likely to suffer adverse impacts from anthropogenic climate change. Threats include sea level rise, floods, and cyclones (approximately 130,000 people were killed in the cyclone of April 1990). With a population of 130 million, most of whom earn less than U.S.$1 a day, it has some of the poorest people in the world. The impacts of climate change will only exacerbate the problems already facing the population.
