Introduction to Climate Change Study Cell Dr. A.K.M. Saiful Islam Coordinator, Climate Change Study Cell Bangladesh University of Engineer and Technology (BUET) Launching Ceremony of climate change study cell, BUET on March 08, 2009

Presentation Outline Climate Change & global warming. Climate Change & global warming. Climatic Conditions of Bangladesh & impact. Climatic Conditions of Bangladesh & impact. Introduction of Climate Change Study Cell at BUET Introduction of Climate Change Study Cell at BUET –Background –Mission, Vision, Scope –Institutional Framework –Activities in the past –Future Roadmap

Global Warming Temperature rises of C per century

Ice melting Images gathered from the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program of NASA show the minimum Arctic sea ice concentration 1979 (left) and 2003 (right). Images gathered from the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program of NASA show the minimum Arctic sea ice concentration 1979 (left) and 2003 (right)

Cracks in Ice bars

Sea Level Rise ( ) 20 cm rise of Global Sea Level in last century. Prediction of another 80 cm rise by 2100.

Green house effect

Increase of Green house gases Green house gases – Co 2, CH 4, NO Green house gases – Co 2, CH 4, NO

Emission of Green house gases Emission of Co 2 Bangladesh < 0.2 ton/yr Emission of Co 2 Bangladesh < 0.2 ton/yr

Climatic Condition of Bangladesh Mean daily temperature of Bangladesh has increased with a rate of C per 100 years Mean daily temperature of Bangladesh has increased with a rate of C per 100 years

Change of mean temperature ( 0 C/year)

Impacts of climate change on Bangladesh Human Health impacts Human Health impacts –Increase of vector born diseases Ecosystem Impacts Ecosystem Impacts –Coastal wetland loss from sea level rise –Increase of salinity Agriculture Impacts Agriculture Impacts –Adverse effect on wheat, potato, Boro yield –Loss of agricultural lands Water Resources Impacts Water Resources Impacts –Increase of drought, intensity of flood and cyclone Market Impacts Market Impacts –Increase energy demand in winter for heasting and summer for cooling

Impact on Agriculture Wheat and Boro coverage area of Bangladesh Wheat and Boro coverage area of Bangladesh
