Climate Change Adaptation
Our Planet
Climate change in Bangladesh, severely affecting devastating floods, severe cyclones, heat waves, unpredictable droughts and rising sea levels, has displaced millions of people and threatened livelihoods. Salinity intrusion damages agriculture and drinking water, increasing poverty and health risks. Emergency adaptation is crucial to protect vulnerable communities and ensure a sustainable future.
