Community and Institutional Adaptation to Riverbank Erosion: Case of the Jamuna, Bangladesh

Lecture given by Fuad Ali.

Fuad Ali is a PhD student in the Department of Geography at King's College London, previously he studied Physics at Imperial College. He is Projects Coordinator at IMASE (www.imase.org), a constellation of Muslims who are interested in the society, development and learning; and Senior Researcher at Youth Think, a research organisation focusing on youth. The problem of river erosion in Bangladesh is a key technological and social challenge for Bangladeshis today, as it has been for decades. Annoyed with fatalistic and at times opportunistic climate change propaganda from one side, and religious platitudes about science and civilisation from another, Fuad won an interdisciplinary research grant and went about investigating.
