Bangladesh is the most crowded place on Earth and will become even more impossibly packed in the next 30 years.
Approximately 20% of its land, it is feared, will be lost to the rising waters brought about by climate change.
Today's 150 million Bangladeshis also have to face cyclones and arsenic-contaminated water. About half of the population is illiterate and a third live on less than one US dollar a day.
While others make plans for overpopulation, global warming mitigation and sustainable development, in Bangladesh, it is time for action. And the leadership is coming from within.
