Flooding in Bangladesh (DVD)

Tailor-made to fit UK specifications, this resource explores the physical and human cause of flooding in Bangladesh, including climate change. It then explores the social, economic and environmental impacts of the flooding through the personal accounts of people living by the major rivers and on Bangladesh’s char lands.
