Khulna City Corporation (KCC) Administrator and Divisional Commissioner Md Firoz Sarkar recently said Khulna is one of the most affected cities by the impacts of climate change.
As a coastal city located in a low-lying deltaic region, Khulna faces risks from rising sea levels, frequent flooding, cyclones and increased salinity which exacerbated by climate change, he said, adding: "Due to frequent natural disasters in this coastal region, the number of climate refugees is increasing daily complicating the urban management."
The KCC Administrator emphasized the importance of completing this vital project in consultation with all parties involved and maintaining high quality within the scheduled timeframe.
Under the Second Urban Region Development Project, a meeting was held recently at the GIZ Auditorium at KCC to review the progress of the ongoing "Integrated Solid Waste Management" project.
