Sea Level Rise in India
Kanaklata Das lives in Sagar island and is one of the many people affected by sea level rise: "We are staying by the river bank. My husband was working in a printing office in Kolkata and he died seventeen years ago. Because of this river, I lost my house four times before. I know I will lose my house again in the next monsoon. What will I do with my children? We are very sad. My sons catch fish in the river and also sail boats and in this way we keep on living here. How can I live with my children here? It is up to you."
