Bangladesh
is susceptible to a variety of disasters including cyclones, earthquakes,
droughts, storm-surge and flooding. Bangladesh is also vulnerable to climate
change due to its location in South Asia. Climate change is a growing concern
for Bangladesh because 90 percent of the country is approximately 10 feet above
sea level. By 2050, approximately 20 percent of the inhabited land in
Bangladesh will be inundated by the sea resulting in displacement for nearly 20
million people.
As
we move into an uncertain future of stronger and more frequent disasters,
government and non-government organization coordination prior to a disaster
along with strengthening local capacity for disaster risk reduction and swift
recovery have become ever more important. Therefore, the ultimate goal of Alambag Jubo Unnoyon Somitiis to create safer, more secure, peaceful, and healthy communities throughout
the country. To achieve this goal, we must strengthen our partnerships with
other government and non-government organizations on natural disaster risk
reduction from local, regional and global perspective. We hope you will support Alambag Jubo Unnoyon Somitiin the pursuit of these goals and that you will join us in promoting
disaster reduction efforts in communities around the world.
