The World Bank has warned that the number of poor people will increase across the country

Due to the excessive use of fossil fuels and unbridled carbon emissions in the developed world, the global temperature is constantly increasing. The whole world has to pay the price. However, poor countries in Asia and Africa are the most affected by the adverse effects of climate change.

The name of Bangladesh is at the top of the list of vulnerable countries. In a report recently published by the World Bank, if the current situation is maintained, the temperature of Bangladesh will increase by 3.6 degrees Celsius by the year 2100. In addition to floods, cyclones, sea level rise, the intensity of various natural disasters is increasing.

The organization has expressed fear that 1 crore 33 lakh people of the country will be forced to be displaced within the next 25 years. If this happens, by the year 2050, Bangladesh will become the country with the most internally displaced people in the world due to climate change. Besides, it will have an adverse effect on the fauna and biodiversity of the coastal region.

In this situation, on the one hand, the poverty rate will increase in the country. On the other hand, poverty alleviation activities will be hampered. According to the calculations of the World Bank, the socio-economic loss of Bangladesh will be 2 percent of the total GDP.

Meanwhile, many countries like Bangladesh will be in trouble to deal with the damage in the future due to rich countries not compensating the countries affected by climate change. Therefore, the World Bank urges to increase assistance to combat the effects of climate change.
