In the flood-prone region of Barisal, Bangladesh, farmers like Mohammad Mohasin have turned to floating gardens, known as dhap, to combat the impacts of climate change. These hydroponic gardens, made primarily from water hyacinth and bamboo poles, allow the cultivation of various crops, offering a climate-resilient solution to rising floodwaters. Bangladesh, highly vulnerable to climate change, faces land submergence and food production loss. The floating gardens provide a low-cost, adaptable alternative. The UN FAO has recognized their importance, and the government supports their expansion. While challenges like high-interest loans and pests exist, floating gardens offer hope amid climate adversity.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” css_animation=”fadeInUp”][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”18393″ img_size=”medium” onclick=”custom_link” link=”https:\/\/www.dawn.com\/news\/1750096″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeIn”]<\/p>\n

South Asia, home to a quarter of the world’s population, faces increasing heat-related risks exacerbated by climate change. A World Bank report highlights the inadequacy of South Asian urban areas in dealing with rising temperatures. Extreme heat events, including record-breaking heat waves, have already caused thousands of deaths. High-density living, limited green spaces, and poor access to cooling measures, such as air conditioning, pose significant challenges. The report emphasizes the need for inclusive urban planning to address social and spatial vulnerabilities, considering factors like income, age, education, and access to green\/blue spaces. It calls for proactive heat resilience efforts in the region.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” css_animation=”fadeInUp”][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”18395″ img_size=”medium” onclick=”custom_link” link=”https:\/\/www.hindustantimes.com\/cities\/others\/odisha-to-build-india-s-first-resettlement-colony-for-climate-change-victims-101682866922705.html”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeIn”]<\/p>\n

The Odisha government is planning to build India\u2019s first resettlement colony for people affected by climate change, officials from the chief minister\u2019s office (CMO) said on Sunday. A senior official at the CMO said the model colony for the displaced villagers of Satabhaya would be built at Bagapatia in Kendrapara district at a cost of Rs. 22.5 crore in the first phase, five years after 530 families from a group of villages had to leave their homes after the rising sea devoured their homes[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n
