Author(s): Saral Islam* and Ijaj Mahamud Ismi
Extreme weather events, such as storm surges and rising sea levels, will exacerbate floods in Bangladesh in the future. More severe weather is on the way, as shown by the recent heat waves and floods. The nation intends to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 15% from a Business as Usual (BAU) level by 2030 in an effort to fix the problem. However, there is still room for improvement in the shift to renewable energy. The recent global energy crisis has the potential to hasten the adoption of renewable energy sources, which now appear to be the sole viable option.
In Bangladesh, the amount of energy produced by renewable sources is rather low. In 1990, renewable energy accounted for 11.4% of power generation; in 2015, that number dropped to 1.2%, according to the World Bank research.
