IDCOL, the Infrastructure Development Company Limited, has demonstrated its commitment to addressing the health risks associated with climate change in Bangladesh by extending support to icddr,b, a globally recognized health research institute.
This contribution comes from IDCOL's Climate Resilience Fund (CRF) as part of its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative.
The impacts of climate change, particularly gradual effects like rising temperatures, saline intrusion, and unpredictable weather patterns, are increasingly affecting public health. Vulnerable groups, including women, children, and individuals in low-income or coastal regions, bear a disproportionate burden of these consequences.
icddr,b, through its Health and Demographic Surveillance Sites spread across Bangladesh, has been actively researching the health implications of climate change.
This partnership signifies a significant stride in aligning financial development with public health research and resilience-building efforts, further strengthening Bangladesh's response to the enduring challenges posed by climate change.
