Save Bangladesh

Md. Tanjil, Dept. of Geography and Environmental Studies, University of Chittagong
Over the last one year, climate change scientists have been sending alarming news that a significant part of Bangladesh will be submerged in the next twenty or so years due to the effects of climate change and resulting sea level rise. The Bangladesh government is naturally concerned and has been highlighting this perilous problem in national and global forums in an effort to look for solutions. But will this be enough? There is an urgent need to inform the young generation about the implications of the impending crisis since they will be most affected if the gloomy prediction comes true. They will need to play an active role in finding ways to mitigate the adverse impact on our people and society.
