The effects of climate change
“By polluting the oceans, not mitigating CO2 emissions and destroying our biodiversity, we are killing our planet. Let us face it, there is no planet B.”-Emmanuel Macron, President of France
In the 20th-century climate change has become one of the main issues. Sometimes climate changes naturally and sometimes climate changes for man-made causes. However, man-made causes are now bringing more disasters. Indiscriminate deforestation and unplanned urbanization are causing climate change. The temperature of the environment is increasing day by day, the amount of carbon dioxide in the air is increasing day by day. Various natural disasters are caused due to climate change. Now I will discuss about a natural disaster caused by climate change and what kind of damage is caused to our country by this disaster.
Bangladesh is a land of rivers. For climate change, River erosion is occurring frequently. River erosion has become a common issue for the people of river areas. I live in town. But the home town is Manikganj. For the river erosion every year lots of house and lots of cultivable fields gone away in the river in our home village. This caused a lot of damage to the people of the village.
Billions of money have been lost every year due to river erosion. Many educational institutions and schools and colleges were damaged due to river erosion. Many people move to the city in search of livelihood, increasing the number of unemployed people. Many people are living in inhumane areas in the coastal areas as they cannot afford to rebuild their houses, and many are living in high-risk areas. Rivers are the source of livelihood, many developments of the country is possible through rivers but if river erosion is not stopped, many losses are achieved. Thus climate change has affected our community.
We must put our heads and hands together to fight climate change or else we risk facing far greater challenges in the future.
