Bangladesh, one of the world's most disaster-prone countries, is grappling with the profound impacts of climate change. Located in the deltaic plains of the Ganges-Brahmaputra-Meghna basin, the nation faces an escalating crisis marked by rising sea levels, unpredictable weather patterns, and increasingly frequent natural disasters. Cyclones, floods, and droughts wreak havoc, endangering lives, livelihoods, and critical infrastructure. The densely populated coastal regions are especially vulnerable, exacerbating the social and economic toll of climate change. Agricultural systems, vital to the nation’s economy, are under severe threat, leading to the displacement of communities and the loss of fertile land.

Despite these daunting challenges, Bangladesh demonstrates remarkable resilience and innovation. The country is actively implementing strategies to adapt to and mitigate the effects of climate change, focusing on sustainable development and disaster risk reduction. In response to these growing concerns, a group of civil society leaders founded Dhoritry Rokhhay Amra (DHORA). This organization is dedicated to confronting the environmental challenges facing Bangladesh, with a mission to promote environmental protection, enhance resilience, and support communities in adapting to the realities of climate change. Initiatives of DHORA are crucial in building a sustainable and secure future for Bangladesh, ensuring that the nation can continue to thrive even in the face of escalating environmental threats.
