Part 11/12:
Young people and women bear a disproportionate burden. In villages, girls like Shannaz, aged 12, face disrupted education due to recurrent floods. Women like Koruna Rani, an apiary farmer, struggle to sustain their livelihoods amidst environmental losses.
The socio-economic consequences include increased poverty, health issues, and displacement. Many families are forced to migrate to cities or abroad, seeking refuge from environmental catastrophes, exacerbating social and economic strains.
