Episode 48: The case for cautious optimism: Community-led approaches in Bangladesh's borderlands
About this episode
The episode discusses community-led approaches to address climate change challenges in Bangladesh's borderlands.
In this episode, we delve into the complexities of fragility in Bangladesh. Our guest for this discussion is Tasnia Khandaker Prova, Lead on Climate Research at the Center for Peace and Justice at BRAC University. We discuss the dynamics of internal and cross-border migration, borderland securitization and the role of community networks in addressing these challenges. As Bangladesh grapples with the repercussions of climate change, especially rising sea levels and increasingly extreme weather events, these pressures serve to compound pre-existing and intersectional vulnerabilities. Tasnia shares insights from her research on Bangladesh's climate-affected borderlands, emphasising the importance of understanding local dynamics and community-led solutions in fostering resilience.
