Geographically, Bangladesh is located in a comparatively disadvantageous region, exposed to various natural catastrophes like flood, cyclone, drought etc. which are causing havoc to our life and economy. A substantial portion of our GDP is adversely affected due to these calamities. It is a proven fact that these natural calamities are the direct impact of changing climate across the globe. Climate change is mostly attributed to the manipulation of nature in terms of various dimensions such as- emission of carbon monoxide and some other greenhouse gases, rapid and unplanned urbanization and industrialization, deforestation and exploration of land and water etc. It has been reported rightly that the developed nations are the major participants in this unpleasant manipulation of Mother Nature. The ultimate consequences of these activities are those natural calamities that we are facing along with some other nations. So, it is the responsibility of those developed nations to indemnify us not in terms of loans, rather direct support in terms of financial, technical and infrastructure facilities.
