"Bangladesh is consistently singled out as one of the world's most climate-vulnerable nations, with two-thirds of its land less than five meters above sea level, making it susceptible to rising sea levels and environmental degradation."
"Research by John Hopkins University indicates that by 2050, rising sea levels could submerge 17% of Bangladesh's territory and 30% of its agricultural land, exacerbating the challenges faced by its densely populated population."
"Soma Surovi Jannat's exhibition at the Ashmolean Museum, 'Climate Culture Care', features around 40 paintings inspired by Bangladesh's Sundarbans mangrove forest, emphasizing the links between climate change and social inequalities."
"The Sundarbans, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is home to the world's largest contiguous mangrove forest and is increasingly threatened by climate change, impacting over 13 million residents who rely on its resources."
Bangladesh is highly vulnerable to climate change, with two-thirds of its land less than five meters above sea level. Research indicates that by 2050, rising sea levels could submerge 17% of its territory and 30% of its agricultural land. The country is densely populated and contributes minimally to global emissions. The exhibition 'Climate Culture Care' by artist Soma Surovi Jannat at the Ashmolean Museum highlights these issues through paintings inspired by Bangladesh's Sundarbans mangrove forest, showcasing the intersection of natural disasters and social inequalities.
