Abstract

The impacts of climate change on the coastal regions of Bangladesh were assessed using both quantitative and qualitative methods in this study. The research adopts an inductive research approach and aligns with the positivism research philosophy. Data analysis was conducted using a combination of Readsh, Metabaase, and Lokker. The literature review section of the paper discusses the multifaceted impacts of climate change on Bangladesh's coastal areas, emphasizing the different risks and challenges associated with natural disasters. Notably, the study underscores the role of both anthropogenic and geographic processes in driving the rise of sea levels in these vulnerable coastal areas. Furthermore, the research highlights the critical fact that approximately one-fifth of Bangladesh's population resides in these at-risk coastal zones, where environmental hazards pose a significant threat. The study's research area encompasses the hazards arising from environmental changes, including issues such as waterlogging, low elevation in coastal regions, escalating salinity levels, and the rise of sea levels. The abstract provides a comprehensive overview of the research's focus on evaluating the impacts of climate change on Bangladesh's coastal regions, but further clarification of the paper's specific objectives is needed.
