For the 1.6 million people who live in the Chittagong Hill Tracts area of southeastern Bangladesh, a warming planet means nearly half of them lack regular access to water during the summer. That means less school, as girls spend more time collecting water; less income, as fewer crops grow; and higher expenses, as bottled water becomes a shopping list staple. 

Across the globe, a changing climate is changing lives. From unprecedented flooding to record heat to worsening hurricanes, drought, and more, global warming is causing extreme weather events and forcing countless millions to adapt.
