Report: Health of millions in Bangladesh at risk due to climate change


Climate change is negatively impacting Bangladesh’s achievements in healthcare and developmental progress. It's affecting the population's well-being, impeding poverty reduction, and hindering progress towards a net-zero future. A recent report by the Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment and Centre for Climate Change Economics, authored by Lauren O’Leary, Shouro Dasgupta, PhD, and Professor Elizabeth JZ Robinson highlighted that a 46% increase in extreme weather events are evident in Bangladesh, says a press release issued on Wednesday.
