Environmental Sustainability
The living environment faces significant challenges due to rapid urbanization, overcrowding, and environmental degradation. Many urban areas, particularly Dhaka, struggle with inadequate housing, poor sanitation, and limited access to clean water, leading to health risks. Air pollution is a severe issue, worsened by industrial emissions and traffic congestion. Rural areas also grapple with environmental concerns like soil erosion, flooding, and waterlogging. Climate change further exacerbates these problems, with rising sea levels and extreme weather events displacing communities. Inadequate waste management, deforestation, and lack of green spaces compound the environmental crisis, affecting overall quality of life.
Thus, EPRC is implementing the activities below:
- Solid Waste Management
- Fecal Sludge Management (FSM)
- Air Quality Monitoring
- Waste Water Management
- Integrated Water Resources
