Our climate is changing very fast and causing the earth adversely with its consequences. While manmade pollution is principally responsible for the crisis, it is the mankind again who are suffering for it. But for us, how much do we know about this?
Although Bangladesh is responsible for as low as 0.1% of the world carbon dioxide emission, it will be one of the worst-hit countries by suffering consequences caused by climate change. IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel for Climate Change) in its report mentioned that high waters and salinity is likely to displace millions of Bangladeshi people, and make them climate refugees by the end of 2050. Loss of habitable and arable lands, extinction of wild lives, frequent flood and cyclones will make our lives miserable. In the long run, simply it will jeopardize the FUTURE of our next generation.
On the awakening to this crisis, we believe that we have a responsibility to take for Bangladesh. We can reduce our carbon footprint by individual and collective initiatives. We can live a greener life by adopting 3R principle: Reduce-Reuse-Recycle. We can pursue with our respective companies and organizations to develop and implement a Climate and Environmental strategy. We would also need to inspire and encourage others through our advocacy for Bangladesh.
Anyone and everyone are invited in this blog to enhance and share knowledge and experience related to climate change, its impact, prevention and adaptation. Be a Climate Champion by joining this group and work for this ‘Green Movement for Bangladesh’.
