It has already begun to have an impact on the world. Although various measures have been taken worldwide to deal with it, not much has been achieved yet.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #252525; text-align: justify;\">According to Bloomberg, an influential American media outlet, in this situation, the United Kingdom can learn from Bangladesh about adapting to the climate crisis. This claim was made in an article published in the media&#8217;s opinion section on Friday, March 31.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #252525; text-align: justify;\">That said, many in Britain are now suffering from record-high temperatures or flood waters, but that should come as no surprise. Because Britain is &#8216;shockingly unprepared&#8217; to deal with the effects of climate change. This is the conclusion of a report published last Wednesday by the British Government&#8217;s Climate Change Committee. The committee is the UK&#8217;s independent advisory body on climate policy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #252525; text-align: justify;\">It may seem quite surprising that a rich country like the UK is not so prepared for such a challenge. Weather has become more extreme with frequent disasters due to climate change. It is mainly the vulnerable populations of developing countries that are facing these harmful effects of climate change. But on the contrary, adaptation (or adaptation) is also commonly heard. Which essentially means changing the process and structure to deal with the current and future impacts of the climate crisis.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #252525; text-align: justify;\">But Lisa Schipper, a professor of developmental geography at Germany&#8217;s University of Forestry, cautions against such a process. He says, &#8220;A picture is painted in the global context, where it is practically shown\u2014only poor countries experience climate disasters&#8221;. And it&#8217;s led people to a complacency that we&#8217;re probably waking up from.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #252525; text-align: justify;\">But poor countries, often in crisis, have long looked more clearly at such adaptation processes. 196 people died in catastrophic floods in Germany in 2021. In response to that flood, Salemul Haque, director of the International Center for Climate Change and Development in Bangladesh, wrote in a newspaper article about how rich countries can learn from their own country (Bangladesh).<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #252525; text-align: justify;\">Bangladesh is proud to say that it has invested a lot of money to reduce the loss of human lives in situations where cyclones and floods strike regularly and to ensure the &#8216;best disaster warning system&#8217; in adverse situations, including the ability to safely evacuate and shelter people. This is not to say that developing countries do not need more aid for sustainable development or that the UK is largely unprepared among developed world countries. According to the summary of the recent Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report, policy gaps are hindering the building of climate resilience everywhere.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #252525; text-align: justify;\">Although investment in adaptation measures is increasing, it is still well short of what is needed and inadequate for the enormous task at hand. Money is also stuck in the problems we are trying to tackle. Also, if the amount of damage increases, more money will be spent on repairing the damage than ensuring future protection.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #252525; text-align: justify;\">The situation in the UK is quite serious. The heat wave seen in England in the summer of 2022 contributed to the highest rates of wildfires, prolonged droughts, and heat-related excess deaths. It also brings other risks.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #252525; text-align: justify;\">The extreme temperatures caused two data centers designed to act as each other&#8217;s backups to become inoperable. It shut down most of the clinical IT systems in a number of London hospitals and community service centers, causing significant disruption to patient care. England has even suffered from changing conditions in other countries: for example, unseasonably cold weather in Spain led to a salad shortage in the UK just a few weeks ago.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #252525; text-align: justify;\">Worryingly, what is currently being seen is only the beginning. Julia King, head of the CCC&#8217;s adaptation committee, told a news conference, &#8220;This increase in temperature will have an increasing impact and will not stop until we reach net zero.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #252525; text-align: justify;\">We face increasing climate risks for roughly three more decades. And so it won&#8217;t take long for temperatures to exceed 40 degrees Celsius in summer to be fairly normal.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #252525; text-align: justify;\">However, King believes the UK has lost &#8220;a decade&#8221; in preparing for this known risk and adapting to the crisis. Public spending in the UK has been very low for many years, which means infrastructure and services are old and weak. But there is little new spending in a government plan announced Thursday to boost investment in the energy sector and accelerate the use of renewable electricity.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #252525; text-align: justify;\">Marginalized people are the most affected by any disaster, both globally and domestically. University of Forestry professor Lisa Schipper emphasizes that equity must be at the heart of all adaptation planning. And if not, helping a small proportion of people will probably only make things worse for others.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #252525; text-align: justify;\">For example, a study in Bangladesh found that eliminating floodplains protected men&#8217;s livelihoods but cut off food and economic opportunities for poor and landless women.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dhaka Bureau: Climate change is one of the threats facing the world now.
