In Bangladesh, climate change acts as a "threat multiplier" creating a growing humanitarian crisis characterized by mass internal displacement. Scale of Displacement Current and Future Risks: Approximately one-third of Bangladesh's population is at risk of displacement by 2030. Long-term Projections: By 2050, it is estimated that one in every seven people in the country will be displaced by climate change. Regional Impact: Projections suggest Bangladesh could have up to 19.9

Using the observed peaks (May–June 2025 and 2026), the historical seasonal pattern in Bangladesh, and the possibility of warmer-than-normal conditions associated with El Niño during the second half of 2026, a reasonable scenario suggests that demand could remain elevated through September before declining during winter. This is a scenario-based forecast rather than an official BPDB forecast. El Niño tends to increase temperatures and suppress monsoon rainfall over South Asia,

While sometimes necessary, these measures should not lock countries into deeper dependence on imported fuels, unsustainable debt, or environmentally destructive development pathways.
