You Love Rice
Climate Change Doesn’t.

We eat it — in East London, Queens, Danforth Village and beyond. But rising heat, saltwater, and floods are putting the threaten millions of lives and our Bangladeshi roots at risk.

We cannot wait another day.

What is Climate crisis?

About 60% of the country is at risk of losing land to rising sea levels

A growing climate crisis in Bangladesh is pushing families to the brink of hunger.

Rising sea levels, saltwater intrusion, and extreme heat are making rice harvests fail — threatening the main food source for millions. In coastal districts like Satkhira and Bhola, farmers are abandoning land that once fed entire communities.

In the north, flash floods destroy crops overnight. In the south, droughts dry up entire seasons.

Over 5 million children in Bangladesh already face food insecurity. Climate change is making it worse. There’s no quick fix — but if we act now, we can protect lives, land, and livelihoods before it’s too late.

We Can End Hunger Forever

Hunger is still one the biggest – and most solvable – problems in the world. We have already made incredible progress: there are 300 million fewer hungry people now than in the 90’s. WFP is working for that every second of the day, feeding over 95 million people in urgent need and implementing programmes that tackle the causes of hunger. But this work depends on the support of people like you.
