20. Change in area under different drought classes due to climate change scenario in dry winter and pre-monsoon (Area in sq. km) Note: Figures within parentheses indicate % increase (+) or decrease (-) in area over existing. CCS-1 is 2°C and CCS-2 is 4°C rise in temperature

21. ISSUES OF RWS: Bangladesh

22. Percentage reduction in production of major crops from the existing level under two climate change scenarios over three levels of adaptation practices Note: HA is High Adaptation: Improved technology and its wide adaptation MA is Moderate Adaptation: Farmers will be responsive and will adjust with the change LA is Low Adaptation: Business as usual.
