Bangladesh

Mobility is a normal part of everyday life in Bangladesh. Every year, hundreds of thousands of Bangladeshis leave the country (temporarily) to work abroad. Their remittances play an important role in the country's economy. At the same time, Bangladesh has developed into an important production hub of the international garments industry – a development that has increased internal migration. Since Bangladesh is one of the countries in the world that are most severely affected by the impacts of climate change, mobility is also an important adaptation strategy of people whose lives and livelihoods are endangered by natural disasters and subtle environmental changes.
