Writer Shahrina Akhtar argues that Bangladesh's climate resilience is being financed largely by its poorest households, with women bearing the heaviest burden through debt. As floods and other climate shocks intensify, families often borrow to rebuild, pushing women deeper into financial insecurity.

Why now: Growing attention to how climate adaptation costs fall hardest on poor women in Bangladesh.
