Summary of Environmental Refugees Unable to Return Home

      In the article “Environmental Refugees Unable to Return Home,” Kakissis describes the effect of natural catastrophes and their impact on refugees. He states that people who become refugees because of natural disaster have been forced to leave their homes and move to metropolitan areas. People in Bangladesh transition to Dhaka for good. Dhaka is powerless to the change in climate because it is located near the sea . Kakissis mentions that  most environmental refugees have lived  in risky slums and their kids either work or remain at home to keep an eye on their younger sisters and brothers while their parents are at work. One family lost their home and small business in a southern Bangladesh village due to flooding from a cyclone ,whereas, another family left a village in Barisal because of river erosion. The author points out that Bangladesh wants to help environmental refugees. Kakissis concludes by stating that environmental refugees’ wishes are to go back home ;however,they don't have enough supplies.
