How are you, Bangladesh?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Population-dense and a fast-growing economy; a country recognized for being both vulnerable to and victorious against the onslaughts of climate change.<\/p>\n

    Firstly, <\/span>2.1 percent of the world\u2019s population<\/span><\/a><\/strong> lives either cramped or sparse in this riverine country with criss-crossing drainage systems.<\/p>\n

    [\/vc_column_text][vc_separator color=”sky”][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeIn”]<\/p>\n

    Secondly, this country is prone to climate risks like rainfall variability, increasing temperatures, sea-level rise, seasonal droughts, and severe floods.<\/p>\n

    [\/vc_column_text][vc_separator color=”sky”][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeIn”]<\/p>\n

    Lastly, people exposed to extreme river floods in Bangladesh are expected to grow by 6\u201312 million by the 2040s<\/a><\/strong><\/span>. Furthermore, the number of people facing coastal inundation could grow by 2\u20137 million by the 2070s<\/a><\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n

    Analysis of Climate Change in Bangladesh<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    The Global Climate Risk Index, 2021<\/a><\/strong><\/span>\u00a0ranks Bangladesh among the top 10 most affected countries <\/span>regarding long-term climate risks from 2000 to 2019.<\/p>\n

    Recurrent floods affect millions of people every year. Fatalities of nearly 30,000 were caused by the cyclone in 1970 along with a loss and damage of US $2.5 billion. Climate risks can cause an additional US $3 billion loss or 1-2% loss in GDP<\/strong><\/a><\/span> on top of its baseline losses to climate hazards.<\/p>\n

    High population density, urbanization, and industrialization drive the country’s increase in carbon emissions. Globally, Bangladesh contributes only 0.24% of CO2 emissions (kt) and 0.5 metric tons of per capita emissions. The agriculture, energy, power, and transport sectors primarily produce its carbon emissions.<\/p>\n

    The country commits to fulfilling the NDC objectives of reducing carbon emissions. Its Mujib Climate Prosperity Plan<\/a><\/strong><\/span>, a world-first, aims to enhance resilience and economic growth by using climate change actions as its catalyst.<\/p>\n
