BANGLADESH-CLIMATE-WARMING-UN
TO GO WITH AFP STORY "Bangladesh-climate-warming-UN,FEATURE" by Julie Clothier
In this portrait taken on August 18, 2009, Khadija Begum stands in the slum where she lives in the Bangladeshi capital Dhaka. "I miss my kitchen and my village," she said, adding that she was one of the first to move up from the coast. A 2006 study found that three million -- or one in four -- of Dhaka's population live in the city's 5,000 slums, up from 1.6 million people in 4,300 slum areas in 1996. Just weeks out from the UN summit in Copenhagen in December, Bangladesh wants rich nations to help it cope with effects of climate change. AFP PHOTO/Munir uz ZAMAN
