[ALOCHONA] Fw: .Bangladesh environmental degradation caused by climate change is spreading higher levels of tension, crime and violence in the Indian Subcontinent

Our friends at BIISS are touting for new poverty business. They are going everywhere to get a few dollars into their pocket. They are adding to the misery of Bangladesh globally. They play on poverty to line their pockets.
 
BIISS is telling the British that Bangladesh people are more prone to violence than any other people in Asia. Climate change is just another excuse for Bangladesh's people to spread their habit all over the Indian subcontinent. Is this type of report acceptable? In the past 30 years these poverty touts have been using such reports to create a dirty racist caricature of Bengalis globally. So much so that when a Bengali is seen with a good watch they, even Africans and Asians, want to know how it is possible for one so stricken in poverty to own one.
 
Everyone in UK is doing research on Bangladesh climate change. The English NGO racists are already saying Bangladeshi is drowning.
 
This is what a patronising BIISS "partner has to say:
 
"Rosy Cave, of Saferworld said, "Whilst the Government of Bangladesh has played a constructive role in addressing climate change related problems, both at home and through international negotiations, more can be done to recognise the links between climate change policy and security policy. The report calls for measures to enable Bangladesh to adapt to the impact of environmental degradation on social and political stability." "
 
Such reports are damaging you and me as people of Bangladesh origin. They report on the misery of Bangladesh in a very peculiar manner as if Bangladesh is in a prison cage all by herself surrounded by pitying successful India.
 
I beseech you to find the name of Dhaka touts and hound them out of Bangladesh. Bangladesh government must take action on the climate change issue in the international arena keeping her dignity;  and not allow herself to be caricatured by the British NGOs & media as a byword for racist stereotyping. Climate change will affect UK as much as China or Bangladesh.

Climate change fuelling insecurity in Bangladesh
21/08/2009
On 12 August, Saferworld and the Bangladesh Institute of International and Strategic Studies (BIISS) launched a new report calling for urgent action to address worrying indications that climate change is fuelling insecurity in Bangladesh.
'Climate change and security in Bangladesh', suggests that the environmental degradation caused by climate change is creating economic and social problems which, in turn, are contributing to higher levels of tension, crime and violence in the region. The report also details how increased migration is leading to greater competition for resources, some of which is leading to violence.
The report, the first of its kind in South Asia, is based on field work both in places that are particularly vulnerable to the environmental impacts of climate change, as well as in destination areas that are the most popular areas for people to migrate to. The research found that in some areas of Bangladesh there is a strong belief that climate change is already occurring and impacting negatively on the economic livelihoods, health and food security of the population.
This case study provides an insight into the potential impact of climate change on security and conflict dynamics in Bangladesh. It forms part of a series of papers exploring the relationship between violent conflict, insecurity and climate change that seek to generate further debate and action on this important topic.
Rosy Cave, of Saferworld said, "Whilst the Government of Bangladesh has played a constructive role in addressing climate change related problems, both at home and through international negotiations, more can be done to recognise the links between climate change policy and security policy. The report calls for measures to enable Bangladesh to adapt to the impact of environmental degradation on social and political stability."
