Preparations in the meantime

Population: 158 million

Reported without comment:

According to the Bangladeshi government’s climate change action plan, as many as 20 million Bangladeshis may need to be resettled as soon as 2050. “Preparations in the meantime will be made to convert this population into trained and useful citizens for any country,” the plan (pdf) says.

  1. Nice to know some other countries are not only NOT in full-blown denial but actually proactively making plans.

  2. I suppose that's the glass half full. The idea of a country training tens of millions of its people for a future as refugees is shocking to me, but it's less shocking, I suppose, then simply ignoring the unpleasant truth and refusing to make plans.
