Bangladesh is projected to lose about 17%

agricultural productivity in
the tropics and sub-tropics
for almost any amount of

What can be done?
Renewable Energy is being used more – a
clean way to produce energy
Governments are working together to
reduce CO2 emissions
Technologies are being invented that will
reduce our pollution
We can all choose to become more energy
efficient and encourage others to become
more environmentally friendly
