The Dhaka Times Desk A long-term and meaningful change in the average climate of a place is called climate change. At present, human-caused greenhouse effect is considered to be one of the causes of global warming. Climate change will cause various natural disasters in the future, the World Bank has warned. June 1st Tokyo International Conference World Bank at the event President Jim Yong Kim shed light on this matter.
The World Bank is expected to invest billions of dollars to improve the quality of Asian cities through water management, including flood prevention, while also protecting nature from overall global warming.
Bangkok is known as a hot spot, Jakarta, in Ho Chi Minh City Sometimes the sea level rises and the rain also causes civil flooding. The bank said that what does not seem risky today, will become very risky in the future, and therefore the development strategy of the next 20 years has been decided by the World Bank to ensure some degree of safety. But the World Bank also said that according to their study, Bangkok will be submerged by 2030. On the other hand, the dam built for Ho Chi Minh City a few years ago is now considered ineffective and 156 billion rupees will be needed to make it functional again - said the Vice President of the World Bank.
Meanwhile, the fear is that nothing remains of the thought and convenience for which the dam was built, but that everything they spent on its construction has been washed away, and twice the amount of water they imagined will now hit Ho Chi Minh City by 2030. . Meanwhile, the World Bank has provided financial support to the ongoing research to reduce the greenhouse gases responsible for the environmental disaster. If they fail, most of the people will become homeless in that place. But no matter how much planning and talking goes on, the world is warming up.
Natural disasters will increase the level of damage in Africa and most of the Asian countries. All of Africa's crop fields and livestock habitats will be lost. But scientists are working on seeds and plants that can survive drought. And in Asia, the height of water will increase, ice will melt, cities and countries will sink. can be lost of Vietnam Like the country. And the President of the World Bank is worried about this, he said that it is more important than how much development we have been able to achieve in 20 years, but we are now worried about how far we can advance. Big strong infrastructure is being built to survive. The expenses are also moving forward, and the account is increasing the huge number of expenses.
Meanwhile, there is scary news for us too. If the global temperature rises by a few degrees due to climate change in the next century, almost all of the negative forms of weather will affect Bangladesh. Bangladesh is one of the countries where natural disasters such as floods, droughts, storms and floods will hit the most. The World Bank has also given hundreds of crores of rupees to Bangladesh to take various measures to protect against these dangers and reduce the amount of damage caused by natural disasters. No matter how much danger comes, we cannot give up, we must prevent disasters, achieve self-sufficiency in food, education and create a tide of development in human life.
