Bangladesh faces many challenges. So long it has been mainly the
traditional ones of socio economic development and eradication of
poverty. Environment as a major factor in this process has only
recently entered the scene. But even before environmental
considerations in the development process has become the normal
practice, the spectre of climate change has reared its ugly head.
While Bangladesh is not unique among developing countries in being
at the receiving end regarding the causes and consequences of
climate change, both in the literal and allegorical sense of the
term, the fact remains that it has made the prospects for
sustainable socio-economic development in the country much more
complex and formidable than before. Both for her own sake and the
sake of the global community at large, therefore, Bangladesh has to
initiate actions at various levels to face the challenge from now
on. The present study is a part of that process. In 1996, the
Governments of USA and Bangladesh together decided to initiate a
comprehensive study on climate change in Bangladesh. A unique
consortium of public and non-governmental research organisations
with support from the relevant administrative arms of the
Government carried out the study over 1996 and 1997. The report has
been accepted by the Government and several of its recommendations
are in the process of implementation. While the direction of
climate change is broadly certain, its details leave much scope for
speculation and interpretation."
