Abstract: Bangladesh — a low-lying South Asian country— is highly susceptible to the adverse impact of global climate change particularly to sea level rise (SLR) due to its unique geographical settings and poor socio-economic condition of the vulnerable people. Scientific projections showed that projected SLR ranged from 0.53-0.97m in 37 coastal stations for the year of 2100, where the predicted global SLR is 0.09-0.88m. World Bank assessed that 1.5 to 1.54 million people would be affected by 2070 by one-meter SLR and permanent relocation of 13 million people. Therefore, the review study investigated the potential impacts of SLR in Bangladesh along with the adaptation strategies i.e., community-based adaptation (CBA), indigenous knowledge (IK)-based adaptation and structural adaptation to enhance the resilience building capacity in the coastal zone of Bangladesh.
