In Trieste, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Italy, on October 30, 2024, the image shows a cruise ship docked behind a port building. The building has a weathered facade, large arched windows on the lower level, and rows of smaller windows with yellow accents above. Parked cars line the waterfront in front of the building, with reflections visible on the calm water of the harbor. The cruise ship looms large in the background, contrasting its modern design with the older architecture of the port.

A woman collects rainwater by using plastic bottle under a tin roof 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.
