Sustainability Report
Climate change is one of a handful of global challenges that has the power to affect the lives of everyone on Earth and is already doing so in many cases. Although it is a global challenge, as individuals it can affect our health, ability to grow food, housing, safety, work, and socio-economic progression. Bangladesh’s current contribution to global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is not significant. But with its large population and fast economic growth, if the country follows a ‘business-as-usual’ development pathway, GHG emissions will increase substantially. Bangladesh also faces a high level of air pollution, which costs about 9% of GDP annually. Improved air quality standards across multiple sectors will improve health and increase climate resilience. The country’s 2021 Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) commit to reduce emissions by 21.8% by 2030. With strong implementation, technology development and uptake, and regional collaboration, Bangladesh can exceed these commitments.
