According to Bangladesh’s Chief Heat Officer for the Adrienne Arsht-Rockefeller Foundation Resilience Center, Bushra Afrin, the efficiency of the human body declines at high temperatures. The summer after this one could be much hotter. The complex natural issues like climate change and global warming must be dealt with, and we must be ready. The temperature in the city of Dhaka can be lowered by coordinated efforts.
The Center for Atmospheric Pollution Studies (CAPS) and the Bangladesh Resource Center for Indigenous Knowledge (BRC) co-hosted a round table discussion on “Rising Urban Temperature: Causes and Actions” on Wednesday, October 4, in the conference room of the Press Institute Bangladesh (PIB).
Bushra Afrin added that we are focusing on climate migration while also trying to establish a city network. It is important to adapt as much as possible and look for mitigation strategies. Additionally, trees need to be planted across the city in various locations. Trees should be planted on the home’s roof, if possible. It will control shaving at high temperatures.
