The UN published a report[1] estimating that 17% of the people of Bangladesh will have to relocate by 2030. Bangladesh has a population of 165 million and is one of the most densely populated countries in the world, so this seems problematic to me.
edit: upon closer reading, they meant 17% will have to relocate eventually. "Only" 3 to 10 million internal migrants in Bangladesh over the next 40 years. Still seems pretty bad.
