|  Bangladesh River Journey, charting the course of climate change The BBC chartered a boat to tour the major rivers of Bangladesh for one month and explore the impact of climate change on the country and its people. Nodipathey Bangladesh or "Bangladesh by the river" launched from Dhaka on Sunday 28 October 2007 with a team of BBC radio, tv and on-line journalists. Travelling up to 200 miles along the Padma, Meghna and Jamuna rivers, they are capturing the voices of people coping with flooding and the effects of climate change across Bangladesh. >Check the website Audio reports from the journey:
