Bangladesh Confronts Climate Change - Book Goes Open Access *25 July 2018*
Rising sea levels and worse cyclones forced Bangladeshis to take the lead in combating climate change, at home and internationally. Their story has become open access and can be downloaded for free. When 500,000 Bangladeshis fled to huge concrete cyclone shelters to escape Cyclone Roanu in May 2016, it has hardly reported. Shelters and warning systems have already cut the death rate from super cyclones by 98%, but because few people died and the shelters were designed and built by Bangladeshis, not by aid agencies, few are aware of this striking progress. Climate change will cause stronger and more destructive cyclones and Bangladeshis are already acting to prevent their country from drowning. This story is told Bangladesh Confronts Climate Change: Keeping Our Heads Above Water, by Manoj Roy, Joseph Hanlon and David Hulme, which has just been made available as a free, open access download. <http://www.anthempress.com/bangladesh-confronts-climate-change-pb> Dr. Prakash Kashwan (प्रकाश कसवाँ) Democracy in the Woods *Oxford University Press (2017). * https://global.oup.com/academic/product/democracy-in- the-woods-9780190637385. <https://global.oup.com/academic/product/democracy-in-the-woods-9780190637385> Rethinking power and institutions in the shadows of neoliberalism <https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0305750X18301748> (*World Development*).
