How is climate change affecting Bangladesh?
0 views
Bangladesh is one of the most climate-vulnerable countries in the world. Key impacts include: sea level rise causing salinity intrusion in coastal areas, more frequent and severe cyclones and floods, changing rainfall patterns affecting agriculture, riverbank erosion displacing thousands annually, and temperature increases affecting crop yields. The government has developed the Bangladesh Climate Change Strategy and Action Plan (BCCSAP). Adaptation measures include cyclone shelters, embankments, salt-tolerant crop varieties, and floating agriculture.
