Despite a population of 140 million, Bangladesh has one of the smallest carbon footprints on the planet – yet it is one of the countries most affected by climate change.

‘My culture and life in Britain was part of the problem’ James Pender, USPG Mission Companion

Impact of climate change

Rising sea levels ‘The river was working its way towards the villages at a rate of two feet per year, so that the villages would be submerged.’

Rising sea levels ‘I will have nowhere to move to. I will just have to go to Dhaka city and try to find some work.’

Church response  James Pender  Solar panels at hospital  Tree plantation  Organic farming  Nitrogen fixing plants

The challenge to us The solution to global warming largely lies with developed countries.

‘I’m frightened to think my grandchildren might have no place to live. I want to be sure that they, and their children, will be able to enjoy the beauty of my country.’
