Slum improvement not only uplifts the living quality of urban poor but also supports adaptation measures of climate change, while planned migration of the climate-induced displaced is a present-day concern. Building of environment-friendly infrastructure with sanitation facilities will help a great deal in eliminating the effects of environmental degradation……( more)

The study depicts environmental displacement with the premise of increased frequency of natural disasters and the adverse impacts of climate change. The research findings reveal that on an average 25%, 3% and 2% populations are displaced from different natural calamities like floods, droughts and cyclones respectively. The estimation of future displacement reveals that approximately 49 million, 63 million and 78 million people might be displaced in 2010, 2015 and 2020 respectively. To avert future crisis, the study proposes to adopt and update policy guidelines including action plans with a timeframe to keep track with the changing climate….( more)

The purpose of this paper is to build the interfaces among Boro rice production, increasing temperature and population growth and those effects on total rice production in Bangladesh. More than 6.5 crore people may be fully deprived from their rice requirement within 2050 i.e. above 45% of the total population of Bangladesh in 2006-07 for the combined effects of increasing temperature and population growth. Bangladesh will face a remarkable food shortage in the next few years and it will turn into a vital issue around 2050, if the current trend continues. Improving Boro and T.Aman production and protecting the declining rate of Aus rice production and developing more heat tolerant rice varieties and management practices would be a major concern for increasing rice production in Bangladesh…(more)

Rice production would be a major concern in recent years due to changing climatic conditions, because a significant amount of rice yield may be hampered for fluctuations of climatic parameters. Combined effects of maximum and minimum temperatures are more significant compared to their individual effect on rice production in Bangladesh. Boro production is drastically reduced for increasing maximum and minimum temperature of 2⁰C and 4⁰C and it may be 3.2% to 18.7% and 5.3% to 36.0% for rising temperature of both 2⁰C and 4⁰C, respectively. The average figure of yield reduction of the two temperature parameters is 10.4% for 2⁰C and above 22.9% for 4⁰C…( more)
