Bangladesh
//Global warming//

Located at the bottom of Asia is a small country called Bangladesh. Bangladesh is a steadily growing economy for the past five years. Even though Bangladesh is one of the poorest countries, it still seems to earn lots of money from agriculture and textile industries. Agriculture is main source for many countries. It would be dreadful for Bangladesh without agriculture. Bangladesh would be in a lot more trouble without it.They are already suffering due to the excessive amounts of carbon release. They are not a very big country, in that case they do not produce as much carbon as the other bigger countries. Since their country is mainly based on agriculture, they have less factories which leads to less carbon. For many of the small countries it would be fatal for their county if the carbon increased anymore. "Most likely to suffer the consequences of sea level rise and bigger typhoons". -New York Times. Bangladesh's main industry includes the textile industry which produces knitwear and ready made garments. The textile industry provides many needed jobs for the very poor. They have many exports to Europe and different parts of Asia. Without their textile industry and their agriculture they would watch their economy collapse. Bangladesh is not very lucky with their geographical location, it is flat a low-lying landscape which would cause sea levels to rise if global warming were to occur. Everything about Bangladesh and its economy make it the most vulnerable country. Bangladesh's climate impacts include many natural disasters. Bangladesh is very poor and needs money to survive. Their goal is to make a treaty good enough to hold the greenhouse gases below 400ppm or keep it 1.5 degrees C.If the treaty does not go through or get approved it would be drastic for our country and later would effect the other countries. Time will be the cruelest for all of us in the end once global warming gets worse. -Mickey Shtyba Sources/references include: https://www.nytimes.com/topic/destination/bangladesh http://travel.nationalgeographic.com/travel/countries/bangladesh-facts/ http://www.heritage.org/index/country/bangladesh https://www.nytimes.com/2014/03/29/world/asia/facing-rising-seas-bangladesh-confronts-the-consequences-of-climate-change.html?_r=0 https://www.ncdo.nl/artikel/climate-change-its-impacts-bangladesh
