Over the coming decades, at the worldwide level and in addition in Bangladesh we will be looked with two noteworthy difficulties: handling destitution and environmental change. Despite the fact that at first look the two issues may not appear to be connected, I will contend that we can't handle either without likewise handling the other in the meantime. This is similarly valid for both the worldwide and the national level, particularly for poor nations like Bangladesh.
I will begin by tending to the worldwide level first. The number of inhabitants in planet Earth is presently well more than 7.5 billion, with individuals living in about 200 nations of various sizes and levels of riches. Around a couple of billion of them are rich, for the most part living in the rich nations, however numerous likewise living in poor nations. At the opposite end another billion or two at the base end are poor or extremely poor and a large portion of them are living in the poor nations. In the center are around two billion individuals, including the white collar class, who are seeking to end up rich after some time.
The level of abundance of the wealthiest has been accomplished, to an exceptionally huge level, because of the advantages of present day vitality for power, transport and industry through consuming non-renewable energy sources, for example, coal, oil and petroleum gas. This thus has prompted contamination of the worldwide air by the discharge of ozone depleting substances, causing environmental change and an Earth-wide temperature boost. This has just made the worldwide barometrical temperature ascend by more than one degree centigrade in the course of the most recent century.
In the event that the white collar class—the two billion individuals—seeking to wind up rich were to do as such with the present methods for creating vitality then the worldwide temperature will transcend three degrees. We have on the whole concurred under the Paris Agreement on Climate Change to not give it a chance to transcend two degrees and if conceivable, to keep it beneath 1.5 degrees.
Subsequently on the off chance that we wish to handle worldwide destitution and give the poorest and the white collar class with current vitality, at that point we have to de-couple advancement from non-renewable energy source use inside a couple of decades. At the end of the day, on the off chance that we need to handle worldwide neediness we additionally need to handle discharge of ozone depleting substances from the utilization of petroleum derivatives.
Luckily, the arrangement is presently accessible as a mix of sun oriented, wind and vitality stockpiling innovations. In spite of the fact that these innovations are still in their beginning periods of improvement, they are now ending up more effective and less expensive than some non-renewable energy sources and will before long be less expensive than every single petroleum product.
As of now organizations, urban areas and even nations, for example, Costa Rica, are wanting to wind up 100 percent dependent on sustainable power source inside a couple of years and others will most likely take after quickly.
A second part of the connection between handling destitution and environmental change is to take a gander at the antagonistic effects of environmental change which are getting to be clearer constantly with warm waves, backwoods fires, surges, hurricanes and dry seasons multiplying the world over in the most recent year alone. The unfriendly effects fall most intensely on the poorest nationals in all nations, even in the affluent ones. Thus all nations need to shield their subjects from the unfriendly effects of environmental change by helping them to adjust to those effects. This requirement for adjustment is especially critical for the poorest individuals in all nations as they additionally happen to be the most defenseless against the effects of environmental change. Consequently for poor nations it is basic that adjustment to environmental change is influenced a need so as to shield the poorest nationals from winding up significantly poorer.
I will now address these twin issues of handling destitution and environmental change with regards to Bangladesh and its improvement pathway throughout the following decade or two (which is the time window in which these difficulties should be handled).
Bangladesh is now on track to move on from the Least Developed Country (LDC) status inside a couple of years (on the off chance that we can keep up our present rate of advancement). Be that as it may, we are likewise extremely helpless against the unfavorable effects of environmental change and subsequently we have to coordinate the issue of adjustment to environmental change with neediness mitigation activities in all cases. In the meantime we ought to likewise investigate the quick organization of sustainable power source instead of non-renewable energy sources.
At last, I will contend that handling neediness and environmental change, albeit testing, gives chances to organizations and nations which can lead the pack in showing how to join endeavors to handle both the issues in the meantime, which would be a win-win procedure for the nation and the private division.
