This research was undertaken with a study abroad fieldwork in Cox's Bazar District of Bangladesh. The study area is highly susceptible to natural disasters due to its geography, climate, and dense population, including a large refugee population that fled persecution from Myanmar. The research employs mixed methods that integrate Geospatial field data collected using Survey 123 application, field observations, and local information gathered through fieldwork in January 2025. The key findings reveal a serious environmental degradation on local landscapes exacerbating the frequency and severity of landslides and flooding events in the region. These disasters disproportionately affect marginalized communities, often leading to displacement, loss of livelihoods, and increased vulnerability that challenge resilience in the region. These insights highlight the urgency for sustainable ecosystem management and adopt inclusive disaster management to reduce social and environmental vulnerabilities and impacts associated with landslides and flooding in Bangladesh’s one of the most climate sensitive regions
