• Solar panels absorb sunlight and convert it directly into electrical current using photovoltaics (PV).
• The main types of renewable energy are wind, solar, hydroelectricity, geothermal, tidal, wave and biomass.
• Coastal system in natural state


  • In dynamic equilibrium
  • Material deposited by rivers allowing mangrove growth
  • Eroded by the sea, so sediment store remains roughly the same
• The Sundarbans region is home to more than 4 million people
• There are opportunities for development to increase the wealth of Bangladesh as a whole
• It is difficult to prevent illegal forest clearance throughout the whole region, and it is unclear whether the mangroves will withstand sea level rise
• Adaptation


  Adjusting behaviour to fit the environment
