	With more than 20 percent of India’s population (about 250 million people) living within 50 kilometers (31 miles) of the sea, the country’s 7,500-kilometer-long coastline is considered the world’s most vulnerable to the impacts of [[climate collapse]], in particular [[sea level rise.]]		With more than 20 percent of India’s population (about 250 million people) living within 50 kilometers (31 miles) of the sea, the country’s 7,500-kilometer-long coastline is considered the world’s most vulnerable to the impacts of [[climate collapse]], in particular [[sea level rise]].

	Over the past 25 years, four of the over 100 islands constituting the Indian Sundarbans (population 4.5 million) have already disappeared: Bedford, Kabasgadi, Suparibhanga, and Lohachara - the first inhabited island in the world to disappear. The inhabitants of these islands became India’s first climate refugees.
