Bangladesh is an over populated country with severe
trend of environmental degradations. After the independence
ample of environmental initiatives have been taken
by government and NGOs addressing number of environmental
issues, but still the environmental condition of the
country is being getting worst.
In 1992, after the Rio Summit (United Nation's
Conference on Environment and Development) a new era
had been started globally. As a party of different
MEA's (Multileteral Environmental Agreements),
Bangladesh has been obligated to take measures on
different environment and development issues. In 2000,
new decade came with new environmental concepts; now
Environment is being considered as integrated element
of the development process. The relationship between
economic development and environmental degradation was
first placed on the international agenda in 1972, at
the UN Conference on the Human Environment, held in
Stockholm. Overall, the environment continued to
deteriorate, and such problems as ozone depletion,
global warming, and biodiversity loss and water
pollution grew more serious, while the destruction of
natural resources accelerated at an alarming rate. MORE
