How Do Vulnerable People Adapt to the Impact of Sedimentation in the Haor Wetlands of Northeastern Bangladesh
The frequency and geographic extent of floods in northeastern Bangladesh have increased over the past few decades, and sedimentation has gradually raised the beds of wetland water bodies. The present study examined how households (HHs) cope with, and adapt to, the adverse effects of sedimentation in the haor wetlands under extreme weather conditions. Lubar and Pochashul haors (“LPHs”), in the Sunamganj District region and most affected by sedimen…
Nexus between climate change and maternal mortality
Climate change presents a significant threat to global health, with both immediate and long-term consequences, especially in low-income countries with limited adaptive capacity. Pregnant women, developing fetuses, and youth are among the most vulnerable populations, yet the specific risks they face remain underexplored. This literature review examines the impact of climate change on maternal mortality, focusing on both direct and indirect pathway…
What aspects affect peoples perceptions of energy use? A comparison of heterogeneity versus homogeneity based on an in-depth review
Energy consumption plays a critical role in climate change, necessitating an understanding of the factors that shape perceptions of energy use. These perceptions significantly influence the adoption and expansion of renewable energy sources. This study conducts a comprehensive review of 45 articles to identify key factors that affect energy consumption perceptions, highlight gaps in existing literature and suggest areas for future research. The f…
Women unprepared for an unknown fate
From floods to cyclones
Bangladesh experiences frequent extreme weather events (EWEs) that are associated with various dimensions of human life, including fertility preferences. This study examines associations among EWEs, family structure (nuclear vs. joint families), and fertility preferences in two climatically distinct regions of Bangladesh. The research was conducted in Chattogram district (cyclone-exposed) and Sunamganj district (flood-exposed), with two villages …
Early marriage of girls in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic has had far-reaching consequences worldwide and has also led to significant changes in people’s lifestyles, resulting in an increase in social problems, such as early marriages for girls in different contexts. This study aimed to examine the relationship between the COVID-19 pandemic and early marriage among girls. Our analysis of 36 studies published between 2020 and 2023 shows that the pandemic has accelerated the number o…
Perceived risk of child mortality and fertility choices in climate-vulnerable regions of Bangladesh
This research examined the influence of perceived child mortality risk on the fertility choices of married women in Bangladesh. Employing a cross-sectional survey conducted in four rural areas, categorized as either vulnerable or not vulnerable to extreme climate events, a total of 759 married women were surveyed through simple random sampling, while 25 women were selected for in-depth interviews through judgment sampling. The findings indicate t…
Comparing household heads’ perception of climate change variability with meteorological trends and understanding mitigation measures to combat the adverse effects in coastal areas of Bangladesh
Exploring the relationship between changes in fertility and disasters
How does the Covid-19 pandemic influence students’ academic activities? An explorative study in a public university in Bangladesh
The global impact of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) has spared no sector, causing significant socioeconomic, demographic, and particularly noteworthy educational repercussions.

In this context, numerous educational institutions in Bangladesh decided to temporarily suspend classes in situations where…
The links between environmental issues and childbearing behaviour
Fertility decisions in the wake of Covid-19
Environmental quality and its impact on total fertility rate
This study establishes a negative correlation between specific ecological footprint indicators, such as carbon and fishing grounds, and TFR. Conversely, there was a positive correlation between the footprint of forest products and the TFR. The primary conclusion drawn is that there is heterogeneity in the results regarding the relationship between ecological footprint and TFR. Moreover, the ecological footprint indicators considered in this study…
