10361-84922017-10-04T04:45:22Z Health impact of climate change in Bangladesh: a summary Hasib, Enamul Climate change Health impact Infectious disease This article was published in the Current Urban Studies [© 2016 by authors and Scientific Research Publishing Inc.] and the definite version is available at : http://dx.doi.org/10.4236/cus.2016.41001. The Journal's website is at: http://file.scirp.org/Html/1-1150151_63373.htm Bangladesh, one of the South Asian countries, has started experiencing major public health impacts of climate change due to its vulnerable geographical location. The objective of this paper is to look at the extent of climate change in Bangladesh and its impact on human health. This paper is based on the review of relevant literature and journal articles on climate change and health from varied recourses. Major health impacts of climate change in Bangladesh observed are temperature related illness, food, water and vector borne diseases. About 20 million people in more than 27 districts are at risk of having Leishmaniasis. Human health is at serious risk due to climate change in Bangladesh though the country’s contribution to Greenhouse Gas emissions is very small compared to many developed nations. Unless steps are taken and put in place immediately to mitigate and adapt to climate change, Bangladesh will have to pay a heavy toll in terms of productivity and human lives.
