Bangladesh is one of the largest deltas in the world, which is highly vulnerable to Natural Disasters because of its Geographical location, flat and low-lying landscape, population density, poverty etc. The Physical, Social as well as Economic conditions of Bangladesh are very typical to any of the most vulnerable countries to Natural Disasters in the world. The total land area is 147,570 sq. km., that consists mostly of Floodplains (almost 80%) leaving major part of the country prone to flooding during the rainy season. The affects of climate change, especially high temperature, sea-levesl rising, Cyclones and Storm Surges, Salinity Intrusion, Heavy Monsoon Downpours etc. has aggravated the overall Economic Development scenario of the country to a greatly.

Bangladesh experiences different types of natural disasters almost every year because of the global warming as well as Climate Change impacts; Floods / Flash Floods, almost 80% of the total area of the country is prone to flooding. Cyclones and Storm Surges (South and South-eastern Parts of the country were hit by Tropical Cyclones during the last few years). Salinity Intrusion; the movement of saline water into freshwater aquifers, which can lead to contamination of drinking water sources and other consequences (the whole Coastal Belt along the Bay of Bengal is experiencing Salinity problem). Another natural disaster is extreme temperature and droughts, North and North-western regions of Bangladesh are suffering because of the Extreme Temperature problem. The impact of climate change on Agricultural production in Bangladesh is wide spread and devastating for the country’s economy. Climate change is also responsible for the declining crop yields in Bangladesh. Temperature and Rainfall changes have already affected crop production in many parts of the country.
