Environmental Refugees Unable to Return Home_response

          In this article, Dhaka is weak at climate change because it just a few meters above sea level and is regularly hit by cyclones and floods. In my opinion it is not only case of Dhaka. South Korea also has some problem about environmental damages. Therefore we have to prepare about environment damages. There are some reasons. At first, South Korea locates in peninsula. Kakissis further states that, “Dhaka is also extremely vulnerable to climate change: It is just a few meters above sea level and is regularly hit by cyclones and floods.”(2010, para.9). According to this article people who live near the sea have to be aware of some situations. The second reason is that many people who live in Korea suffer from storms and floods every summer. There are about 30 to 40 storms per a year. They concentrate from august to september. Following to Kakissis “More intense storms and floods, salinization damage to crops caused by the encroaching sea…”(2010, para.7). There are also many people who underwent damages to crops. And the last is that there are not enough realistic alternatives. Every year many people are troubled with ERs, but compensations and aids are lacking. They have to restore their residences and work places. They need enough budget, but it is difficult to get some cost. If there is no compensation they must be difficult to recover. In conclusion we have to make some measures about environment damages.

  1. Nice work incorporating the example of Korea into the content of the article. You are right: this is a global problem affecting many of our countries.
