The Barind region of Bangladesh is one of the country’s most drought-prone and climate-sensitive areas. Declining groundwater levels and changing climate patterns are making water safety an increasingly urgent challenge for communities who depend on it every day.

This Earth Day, community members in Barind remind us that caring for the planet also means protecting the resources that people's lives depend on. We cannot ignore the impact of the climate crisis.
