Planning and Development Research

  Health and family planning can play significant roles as tools for climate change resilience by addressing both the impacts of climate change on human health and the contribution of population growth to greenhouse gas emissions. Here's how they can contribute to building climate change resilience: a.       Health Resilience: { Climate-Related Health Risks : Climate change brings about various health risks, including heat-related illnesses, vector-borne diseases (like malaria and dengue), waterborne diseases, and respiratory issues due to air pollution. Strengthening healthcare systems and implementing early warning systems for extreme weather events can enhance a community's ability to cope with and respond to these health challenges. { Disaster Preparedness and Response : Health systems need to be well-prepared to handle the increasing frequency and intensity of climate-induced disasters, such as hurricanes, floods, and heatwaves. Adequate medical supplies, trained personn

  Climate Change-induced disasters in Bangladesh, such as increased frequency and intensity of cyclones, floods, and sea-level rise, have profound impacts on the health and Family Planning sector. Here are some key impacts: { Increased Risk of Waterborne Diseases : Climate Change-related floods and cyclones can contaminate water sources, leading to a higher risk of waterborne diseases such as diarrhea, cholera, and typhoid. The spread of these diseases can overwhelm healthcare facilities and strain resources for treatment. { Food Insecurity and Malnutrition : Climate Change affects agricultural productivity, leading to reduced crop yields and food shortages. This can result in increased malnutrition, particularly among vulnerable populations such as pregnant women and children. Malnutrition can have long-term health consequences, including stunting and compromised immune systems. { Vector-Borne Diseases: Rising temperatures and altered rainfall patterns create favorable condition
