Bangladesh and Bangladesh-U.S. Relations
Bangladesh and Bangladesh-U.S. Relations Updated October 17, 2017 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov R44094 Bangladesh and Bangladesh-U.S. Relations Summary Bangladesh (the former East Pakistan) is a Muslim-majority nation in South Asia, bordering India, Burma, and the Bay of Bengal. It is the world’s eighth most populous country with nearly 160 million people living in a land area about the size of Iowa. It is an economically poor nation, and it suffers from high levels of corruption. In recent years, its democratic system has faced an array of challenges, including political violence, weak governance, poverty, demographic and environmental strains, and Islamist militancy. The United States has a long-standing and supportive relationship with Bangladesh, and it views Bangladesh as a moderate voice in the Islamic world. In relations with Dhaka, Bangladesh’s capital, the U.S. government, along with Members of Congress, has focused on a range of issues, especially those relating to economic development, humanitarian concerns, labor rights, human rights, good governance, and counterterrorism. The Awami League (AL) and the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) dominate Bangladeshi politics. When in opposition, both parties have at times sought to regain control of the government through demonstrations, labor strikes, and transport blockades, as well as at the ballot box. Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has been in office since 2009, and her AL party was reelected in January 2014 with an overwhelming majority in parliament—in part because the BNP, led by Khaleda Zia, boycotted the vote. The BNP has called for new elections, and in recent years, it has organized a series of blockades and strikes. -

An enumeration of threatened taxa is prepared with updated field data on conservation status to include into Red Data Book of Bangladesh. Key words: Inventory, threatened plant species, conservation, management, Bangladesh. Introduction Global biodiversity is depleting at an alarming rate due to human interferences and environmental degradation, causing high risk of extinction. Human impact on nature has reached at such a high proportion that the world is today witnessing an unprecedented rate of species loss. Many more species are disappearing from the nature before their discovery and determination. The 1997 IUCN Red List of Threatened Plants revealed that 12.5% or c.34,000 of the world’s vascular plant species are at risk of extinction, including 7% of family International Journal of Environment ISSN 2091-2854 141 | P a g e Apocynaceae and 5% of Vitaceae (Walter & Gillett, 1998). -

The disaster killed an estimated 160 persons, including 115 persons in Rangamati alone. According to the Chittagong Divisional Health Office Control Room Report, a total of 187 injured persons were admitted in local level hospitals. Approximately 85% of patients were admitted in Rangamati. While landslide related disaster occurs nearly every year, the second highest death toll of 127 deceased persons was recorded in 2007 [Disaster Forum, June 2017]. Monsoon rains caused severe flooding in low-lying areas to significantly damage road and communication infrastructure. Flood water rendered remote communities in Bandarban, Chittagong, and Rangamati districts were inaccessible by road. On June 14th, mudslides in southeast Bangladesh claimed additional lives in Cox's Bazaar and Khagrachari districts to further damage homes and infrastructure. -
Impact of Sea Level Rise in the Coastal Areas of Bangladesh: a Macroeconomic Analysis
Journal of Economics and Sustainable Development www.iiste.org ISSN 2222-1700 (Paper) ISSN 2222-2855 (Online) Vol.5, No.18, 2014 Impact of Sea Level Rise in the Coastal Areas of Bangladesh: A Macroeconomic Analysis Md. Arfan Uzzaman Independent Researcher, and Graduate Student Dhaka School of Economics [email protected] 1. Introduction Due to diverse economic activities (mainly burning of fossil fuel), carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases (methane, nitrous oxide, ozone, chlorofluorocarbons and water vapor) are accumulated in the earth’s atmosphere, resulting in climate change. Rising temperature expand the ocean volume in two ways. Firstly, it melts mass volume of ice of the polar region and secondly, it causes thermal expansion of water of the ocean (L.Hossain& k.Hossain,2005). Ongoing climate has a greater socio economic and environmental impact on different countries. Bangladesh is considered as one of the most vulnerable countries due to climate change. Among the adverse effect of climate change, it is evident that Sea level rise is the major concern for Bangladesh which can bring a higher cost for the entire economy of this country which is difficult to capture in monetary term also. In this study the exertion is given to analyze the ongoing and long run effect of sea level rise in the coastal areas of Bangladesh. It deserves special mention that the affected districts those who are impacting by the sea level rise will spread out the cost in entire economy in the form of climate migration in cities, regional food insecurity, and poverty. 2. Objective of the study The border objective of this study is to reveal the overall socio-economic cost of Sea Level Rise (SLR) in the coastal areas of Bangladesh. -

Banik 1Civil and Environmental Engineering Department, Shahjalal University of Science and Technology, Sylhet, Bangladesh 2Industrial and Production Engineering Department, Shahjalal University of Science and Technology, Sylhet, Bangladesh Received 13 July 2005; revised 20 August 2005; accepted 25 November 2005 ABSTRACT A study of the water quality conditions of Sylhet city of Bangladesh and its restaurants was carried out to assess risks to human health. The investigation was based on questionnaire survey of restaurants and laboratory tests on water samples obtained from the restaurants, tube wells of the city and Surma River the two main sources of water supply to the city. The test parameters were dissolved oxygen; conductance, hardness, pH, temperature, turbidity, essential and trace elements, dissolved and suspended solids and coliform bacteria. The quality of sanitary facilities and handling of food in the restaurants were also examined. It was found that the drinking water of each restaurant was contaminated with fecal coliforms and 25% restaurants had unsafe levels of iron in the water supply. Improper solid waste dumping was found as one of the reasons of groundwater pollution. Statistical analysis based on Pearson’s correlation coefficient revealed significant correlation between the extent of groundwater pollution and dumping of solid waste effluents in the immediate vicinity of ground water (tube wells). It was observed that 75.69% (coefficient of determination r2= 0.7569) variation in the value of groundwater near the dumping place showed association with variation in the value of water quality within the dumping place. -
BANGLADESHTHE SHAHAR PROJECT IFPRI Is Collaborating with CARE-Bangladesh to Provide Research and Support for Its SHAHAR Project for Improving Urban Livelihoods
INTERNATIONAL FOOD POLICY RESEARCH INSTITUTE sustainable options for ending hunger and poverty BANGLADESHTHE SHAHAR PROJECT IFPRI is collaborating with CARE-Bangladesh to provide research and support for its SHAHAR project for improving urban livelihoods. he staggering growth of cities in developing countries Thas contributed to widespread urban poverty. Many of the urban poor live in unsanitary environments, have uncertain incomes, and lack necessary financial and health care services.These conditions exist in Bangladesh and appear likely to worsen.The populations of the cities in Bangladesh increase by more than 1 million every year. Many cities are growing at more than 8 percent per year, and they will double in size in less than 10 years. In 1997 CARE-Bangladesh undertook an assessment of the livelihood security of slum households in three cities in Bangladesh: Bogra, Khulna, and Tongi.Based on the findings of that study and a review of secondary literature, CARE- Bangladesh created the SHAHAR (Supporting Household James Garrett © IFPRI/ Activities for Hygiene, Assets, and Revenue) project. (Shahar means “city” in Bangla.) A component of the Integrated Food Security Program (IFSP) of CARE-Bangladesh, the RESEARCH FOCUS project was launched in mid-1999 and financed by the U.S. Project Leader: James Garrett Agency for International Development. IFPRI has provided research and technical assistance to help The SHAHAR project seeks to improve livelihood security CARE with SHAHAR’s program approach. IFPRI led baseline in some of the major secondary cities of Bangladesh.The surveys in the first two cities where SHAHAR worked, project’s major activities are: Jessore and Tongi. -

Shofiqul Islam1* and Mohammad Moinul Hossain2 ,Md Aminul Islam3 1Department of Petroleum and Mining Engineering, Shahjalal University of Science and Technology, Sylhet 3114 Bangladesh 2Geophysical Division, Bangladesh Petroleum Exploration and Production Company (BAPEX), Dhaka, Bangladesh 3Department of Petroleum Geoscience, Faculty of Science Universiti Brunei Darussalam Jalan Tungku Link Gadong BE1410, Negara Brunei Darussalam Abstract Fenchuganj Gas Field is located in the Surma Basin of Bangladesh and characterized by water-drive gas field. In the reservoir condition, water saturation increases as gas production rise. The fluid properties of the four individual gas zones of this reservoir at the present condition and at the gas depleted condition should be addressed with proper prediction. In this paper, we characterize the total reservoir with special emphasis on Upper Gas Zone and New Gas Zone I which are compared with other two gas zones (New Gas Zone III and New Gas Zone II) representing some modeling results (has done before by these authors) which evidences that the pore fluids have a significant effect on the acoustic impedance and the Poisson’s ratio of the reservoir rock which is directly correlated with seismic amplitudes at constant pressure with Batzle-Wang model and Gassman-Boit models. -
