Abstract

Mangrove forest has a significant importance in protecting natural disaster, environmental sustainability and in local economy. In Bangladesh, only mangrove forest Sundarban also servicing for environmental sustainability, protecting tropical cyclone, local employment generation and so on. Thus, its natural properties are being hampered through people involvement and natural calamities. Moreover, Rapid population growth and climate change stimulating these disturbances of natural properties of Sundarbans. This paper aim at how climate change is disturbing mangrove forest in Bangladesh and how this disturbance may be threatful for future environmental sustainability. Interrelation between climate change and disturbance of Sundarbans has been established through various exiting literature review and for quantifying the amount of disturbance remote sensing data has been applied and future threat of environmental sustainability has been assessed by comparing regeneration capacity of Sundarban after a tropical cyclone and amount of disturbance by a tropical cyclone. Result found that climate change increasing the frequency of natural calamities and affecting significantly on mangrove forest due to its complex bio-diversity and strategic location before regeneration of disturbance. On the other hand, threat of mangroves as well as environment is associated with temperature rising, ice melting and sea level rising are increasing because of frequent occurrence, magnitude as comparing with regeneration capacity.

Abstract

Introduction: Rising food prices, exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Ukraine war, and climate change, have emerged as a pressing global issue. In Bangladesh, this has led to significant increases in food costs, impacting various groups, including university students.Objective: This study aimed to examine the effects of rising food prices on the dietary diversity and food consumption patterns of students at Dhaka University, with a focus on Kabi Jasim Uddin Hall canteen due to its standardized management system and accessibility.Method: A qualitative research design was employed, incorporating semi-structured interviews, key informant interviews (KII), and focus group discussions (FGD) to explore students lived experiences and coping mechanisms in response to increased food costs.Results: Findings revealed a notable shift in students’ dietary habits due to financial constraints. Many reported reducing food intake and avoiding non-essential food items. Coping strategies included portion control, skipping meals, and focusing on basic, low-cost food options. These outcomes align with similar studies in other South Asian countries, including India and Pakistan.Conclusion: The study highlights the urgent need to address the impact of food inflation on university students. Recommendations include implementing subsidized food programs, offering financial literacy support, promoting on-campus vegetable gardening, initiating food aid for vulnerable students, and collaborating with canteen authorities for price regulation. These measures aim to improve access to a nutritionally diverse diet and support student well-being amid ongoing economic challenges.
