If you think that rivers only exist on land, think again. Holding an entire river of water in the form of moisture, they also exist in the atmosphere and are known as Atmospheric Rivers (AR).

New World Bank President Ajay Banga says

Chattogram district administration must answer for felling 5,000 trees

During the annual COP, all the world’s media turn up to follow the negotiations on different topics, and many civil society actors, especially the youth, make great efforts to attend.

What's happening to our rivers is not driven just by necessity, but also greed, a general disregard for the sanctity of life, and a reckless can-do-ism.

The global economy and planetary system are hugely imbalanced because of climate warming and widening social inequities.

There is an element of the unexpected in the twinning of fiction and ecology. A sense of unease of sorts exists in the pairing together of fiction, a form of narrative that is untrue, with the imminent ecological disaster, an environmental inevitability that is true.

We must rethink how cities are planned, designed, and administered to combat the adverse effects of both the heat island problem and climate change.

About 2 billion people will live in hazardous heat conditions by the end of the century if climate policies continue on their current trajectory, according to new research published in the Nature Sustainability journal

Although exceptional, the warm January temperatures are a stark reminder that, despite all the rhetoric about pivoting to green sources of energy like solar and wind, climate change is taking a turn for the worse because global GHG emissions are not showing any signs of a downward trend.

Why are we destroying our last line of defence against natural calamities?

Government must protect our rivers from being polluted, encroached or harmed in other ways

A set of parliamentarians from the most vulnerable constituencies could form a special group to get more deeply involved regarding the climate actions needed at the local level in their constituencies.

Bangladesh is at the forefront of having to tackle climate change out of necessity, so we cannot avoid learning how to do so.

Is climate alarmism really the most productive way to handle the thought of climate change?

How are we going to deal with all the evolving climate issues, and what kind of finance is needed for that?

Since the government is now preparing its annual national budget for FY2023-24, what changes can we expect to see in the climate-relevant allocations, post-NAP2050?

We need to rapidly find ways to deal with heat stress.

Attempting to tackle poverty and climate change simultaneously could lead some governments to make costly and counterproductive decisions.

The soft limits to some human adaptation and hard limits to ecosystems have been reached. There is increased evidence of maladaptation locking in vulnerability and increasing exposure risks. With sufficient global capital to close the mitigation investment gap, COP28 can be the enabler.
