Protecting the Sundarbans from Climate Change and Thermal Power
Original: Protecting the Sundarbans Climate Change, Thermal Power, and International Legal Obligations
The Sundarbans, the world's largest mangrove forest spanning India and Bangladesh, is the focus of renewed attention over threats from climate change and thermal power plants. A recent academic paper argues that both countries carry international legal obligations to protect the ecosystem from sea-level rise, salinity, industrial pollution and coal-fired power projects, urging stronger enforcement of environmental treaties.
Why now: Ongoing concerns over coal power development and climate damage to the ecologically fragile Sundarbans.
