In the South Asian nation of Bangladesh, climate changes are forcing people to leave their homes and farms; experts predict numbers of the displaced could rise to 13 million by mid century, creating untold destabilization in the country. In this audio segment from PRI's The World Science Podcast hear first-hand accounts from farmers on the leading edge of this huge migration. Learn how the Bangladeshi government is trying to help, and some of the measures that politicians and policy experts suggest for countering the problem.

The World Science Podcast is a weekly production of The World.
