Several factors are making Bangladesh increasingly vulnerable to flooding, including reduced dry season rains, illegal tree felling causing landslides, increased cyclone intensity and storm surge due to sea level rise, enhanced monsoon rains and increased river runoff, elevated tides blocking rivers due to global warming, increased Himalayan glacier melt, and high population density exacerbating the risks.
