Food and health security impact of climate change in Bangladesh: a review

Abstract

Abstract There are major threats to Bangladesh's food and health security posed by climate change, including a higher risk of food shortage, hunger, and waterborne illnesses. The country's coastline regions, which are most susceptible to the effects of climate change, are where these problems are most severe. The influence of climate change on Bangladesh's food and health security is examined in this research study. The report analyzes the existing level of understanding on this subject, identifies knowledge gaps, and proposes future research possibilities. Based on the literature review, the study found a number of issues, such as crop failure and lower health status, that worsen the effects of climate change on food and health security. The evaluation emphasizes the serious threats that climate change poses to Bangladesh's food and health security, such as a higher risk of food shortage, hunger, and waterborne illnesses. The harshest effects of climate change are on people's health. The report makes a number of suggestions for academics and politicians to address these issues and how policymakers and scholars may approach these problems.
