Climate change has emerged as one of the most significant challenges of the 21st century, impacting

location and socio-economic conditions. As the effects of climate change intensify, Bangladeshis are

leading to loss of lives, displacement, destruction of homes and infrastructure, and disruption of
livelihoods.
