Spatial overview of climate change impacts in Bangladesh: a systematic review

Bangladesh is highly susceptible to facing climate change scenarios. The comprehensive systematic review on climate change impacts in Bangladesh is still absent. This article is set out to analyze the existing literature on climate change impacts in Bangladesh. Ushered by the PRISMA statement (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses) review method, a systematic review of the Science Direct and PubMed databases resulted in 37 related studies. A meticulous review of these articles produced two distinct themes (i) environmental and biophysical impacts and (ii) socio-economic and human livelihood impacts. These two themes resulted in a total of 29 sub-themes and their ramifications. Twenty-eight of the sub-sub groups have been presented spatially to better understand the distribution of climate change impacts throughout Bangladesh. Some recommendations are mentioned to enhance this study for capturing further comprehensive perspectives.
