Bangladesh is at the risk of a loss of 2.0 per cent to 9.0 per cent of annual Gross Domestic Product (GDP) by the mid and end of the century due to climate change, according to the predictions by the latest IPCC report.

Human-induced climate change impacts are likely to steadily reduce the production of Bangladesh’s major food items such as rice, wheat and fish while raising temperature and humidity in parts of the country by the end of this century to a level that will be unbearable for humans.

According to the newest IPCC assessment, Bangladesh is anticipated to endure excessive heat and humidity, ongoing sea-level rise due to unfavorable climate change, and the displacement of millions of people, endangering industry and agricultural production.

The report suggested that Bangladesh must focus on transformative and multi-sectoral actions to adapt to climate change.

Bangladesh is likely to face extreme heat and humidity risks, continued sea-level rise caused by adverse impact of climate and it also will force millions of people from their homes threatening industry and agricultural production, predicted by the latest IPCC report.
