Is Climate Change a Curse? Causing Huge Effect on Various Fields: An Educational Perspective

Ritesh Karmaker, Md. Habjul Alam Lemon

Abstract

This paper aims to highlight the causes of climate change creating a huge impact on various issues from an educational perspective. Changing climate issues affecting the deltaic region, Bangladesh. Bangladesh faces the most critical consequences of climate change because of global warming, and some man-made issues. The facts go on all over the world, including Bangladesh resulting in pushing back the country to face the complexity of a devastated climate. This paper has a qualitative look focusing on the facts related to changing aspects of Bangladesh for climate change. This article has three sections, a literature review showing the causes and the results of climate change, primary data collection with interviews and forum group discussion (teachers, research scholars, students, and farmers), and the design of the research. The primary data collected from the Sherpur district in Bangladesh shows the consequences of climate change and its impact.
