Poverty and climate change are the most critical challenge for the present world. Poverty is widespread in the rural areas. Because of this situation most of the poor people face many social problems. As a result, the target groups (poor, rural women, young generation and the unemployed) are also not conscious about environmental problems like global warming and climate change in Bangladesh. They cannot contribute to the campaign against environmental degradation. The micro-credit programme has played a significant role in reducing poverty. Nobel Laureate Dr. Muhammad Yunus also theorised how the micro-credit could eliminate poverty. If the government and NGOs are generous enough to expand this programme with low interest rate and flexible conditions to the target groups, then it would pave the way for reducing poverty from rural society.
