Climate change is a worldwide concerned issue for developing countries like Bangladesh. Although, Bangladesh is a low carbon emitting country, it is facing adverse impacts of climate change. Climate change is destroying the food chain for variety of organisms present in different ecosystems. Studies disclosed that rise of sea level, increasing of temperature and frequent natural disasters may become the causes of suffering for million people. Bangladesh government has taken a number of strategies and policies to ensure safe environment and danger free biodiversity. However, all these programs of government have often failed to mitigate the impacts of climate change on environment and biodiversity. This study has conducted by reviewing literatures on climate change and focusing on its effects on environment and biodiversity in Bangladesh; to identify the barriers responsible for poor implementation of government policies and to recommend policy options to speed up national actions in terms of adopting environmental and biodiversity mechanisms. The study has provided suggestions to formulate more effective policy in decision making, enforcement of environmental laws, strengthening institutional capacity and increasing public awareness for protecting the environment and biodiversity.
