Climate Change Impacts and Mitigation Strategies to Develop the Low Carbon Themes in Bangladesh

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Bangladesh II: Climate Change Impacts, Mitigation and Adaptation in Developing Countries

Part of the book series: Springer Climate ((SPCL))

Abstract

Bangladesh has the limited experiences to reduce the greenhouse gases being spewed out by more developed countries, nor can they hope to reverse what has been done. The country has instead become a hotbed for adaptation strategies and experimentation, where some innovative models are being developed and explored. Aid agencies, donors, and nongovernmental organizations have begun pitching in to help Bangladesh to prepare for a changing climate. Meanwhile, back in more developed countries, where we should be reducing our emissions through what in climate change speak is called mitigation, instead we seem stuck in endless rounds of debates about how to proceed. Throughout the world climate change has become an issue that is afforded less importance given the severity of the problem. This issue of climate change is given rather less value than other crises that exist all around the world. As climate change is a gradual process and as its effects are not immediate, many people all around the world underestimate this issue, whereas others deny the existence of the phenomenon existence. As a result of these efforts, Bangladesh has become the first low-income country to adopt low-carbon zone guidelines and a roadmap that, when fully implemented, will reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 17% in the country’s industrial zones. In order to prepare for the worsening effects of climate change the Bangladesh government has put forward some plans and policies. But sadly, these plans and policies remain only in this study as they have not been brought in to action effectively. For the human race to mitigate this problem there is no way other than to reduce carbon emissions. Therefore, it is necessary to adopt the low carbon development framework on an international, regional, and national level. It is necessary for the world, as well as for Bangladesh.
