Abstract
Bangladesh has made considerable progress in increasing food production as well as on its socio-economic indicators against MDG goals, yet it continues to be one of the poorest as well as food insecure countries in South Asia, due to income inequality, frequent disasters, and social complexities. According to UN Human Development Report 2007, Bangladesh is among the countries to be worst-affected by climate change that may cause a large-scale reversal in human development, breaking down the entire agricultural system of the country. Climate change has the potential to undermine development of countries like Bangladesh and vulnerabilities could be increased in day by day. The annual risk of flooding and flash floods increases food insecurity and vulnerability by limiting local livelihoods, inhibiting productivity of land, destroying household assets, and increasing isolation from markets and social services.
