They call it 'climate injustice.' Here's how Sufia Khatun of Bangladesh is fighting it

Activist Sufian Khatun worries that more frequent cyclones, triggered by climate change, will make her community in Bangladesh uninhabitable. Storm surges bring saline water into the river in the southwest part of the country where she lives, taking a toll on agriculture and the drinking water supply.

Cyclones come more often and the sea is rising, says this activist. Livelihoods and lives are threatened. Here's what she'd like to tell the nations gathered in Glasgow for the COP26 climate summit.
