Bangladesh: Around 6500 become climate refugees in Bangladesh every year, Momen at COP27

DHAKA, 15 November 2022, (TON): Foreign Minister AK Abdul Momen has said “some 6500 people become homeless every year due to climate change in Bangladesh.”

He said while talking to reporters "around 6500 people have been displaced every year due to climate change and they are facing difficulties in working and most of them lose their jobs. As a result, they flocked to the cities.”

He added “the Bangladesh government has taken steps to build houses for them in a bid to rehabilitate them every year.”

Momen said "Global warming has been noticed due to climate change and we are not responsible for that. Due to global warming, vast tracts of land have been eroded and many amounts of money were spent due to the erosion.”
