Climate change is threatening the health of people in Bangladesh. It is no longer a future problem; it is a problem of now. To present this problem with data and create a platform for discussion with leading experts, the first in-person Bangladesh launch of the 2022 report of the Lancet Countdown on Health and Climate Change took place on Thursday, 22 December 2022 at the Child Health Research Foundation (CHRF).

The event provided an opportunity to acknowledge and examine the impacts climate change has had on Bangladesh across timeframes covering the past, present, and future. The imminent and necessary steps towards alleviating some of the predicaments were also discussed.
