ABSTRACT

This chapter provides the Bangladesh and its related climate change effects. The impact of climate change is frequently cited as one of the most severe environmental problems facing humanity. The foremost evidence for worldwide climate change has been global warming. The people in this densely populated territory are severely affected by climate change variables and natural calamities. There is a consensus among scientists that, in South Asia, Bangladesh in particular is the most impacted by climate change amongst the Asian regions. Salinity is also becoming a long-term problem in Bangladesh and is expected to be further exacerbated by climate change and sea level rise. Education is a social phenomenon that strongly influences women's control of their own future, but low levels of female education have been frequently cited in Bangladesh. Women's household roles, poverty, social position and established religious norms and values act as a hindrance to overcoming these entrenched positions.
