With high emissions it would instead accelerate further, and could rise by 1.0 m (3 + 1 ⁄ 3 ft) or even 1.6 m (5 + 1 ⁄ 3 ft) by 2100. [ 5 ] [ 3 ] : 1302 In the long run, sea level rise would amount to 2–3 m (7–10 ft) over the next 2000 years if warming stays to its current 1.5 °C (2.7 °F) over the pre-industrial past.

Bangladesh is predominantly rich fertile flat land. Most of it is less than 12 m (39 ft) above sea level, and it is estimated that about 10% of its land would be flooded if the sea level were to rise by 1 m (3.3 ft). [61] 12% of the country is covered by hill systems. The country's haor wetlands are of significance to global environmental science.

[165] Population growth (from net immigration) reached 0.52% of population in 2004, increased in the following years before falling to 0.54% again in 2017.
