A striking urban contrast exists in Hanoi, Vietnam, on March 22, 2025. In the foreground, people sort through piles of paper, plastic, and other discarded materials in a cluttered alleyway. Makeshift structures line the street, with bags, bins, and tools scattered across the ground. In the background, a sleek modern high-rise building with a glass facade towers over the scene, highlighting the disparity between rapid urban development and the persistent presence of informal economies and living conditions.

Woman adjusts the power of her lantern at Kalabogi village in Khulna. Not too long ago Kalabogi, a coastal village in Bangladesh, was full of cultivable land until the rising sea levels began to swallow the area all the way up to the Bay of Bengal. Frequent cyclones and floods hit the village since the late 1990s. In 2009, a major cyclone named Aila destroyed the country's 1,400 kilometres of embankments, 8,800 kilometres of roads, and about 3,50,000 acres of farmland. Several hundred people were reportedly killed in the disaster. The farmers of Kalabogi were the worst hit. As most of the village land was submerged in water, the people of Kalabogi built new homes on bamboo poles 4 to 5 feet above the ground.
