Impacts of sea level rise on Bangladesh were examined through literature review using secondary data from various research papers and reports prepared by national and international organizations working in this field. The study revealed that a one meter sea level rise will affect the vast coastal area and flood plain zone of Bangladesh. Height of sea level and population in the coastal area are the two factors which increases the risks of a country from rise of sea level, since Bangladesh meets the both criteria. Both livelihood options of coastal communities and the natural environment of the coastal zone will be affected by the anticipated sea level rise. It will also affect national and food security of the country. The Sundarbans, the most important ecosystem of the country will be totally lost with one meterrise in sea level. To minimize the impactsof rise of sea level Government of Bangladeshalong with all stakeholders such ascommunity, NGOs andother nationaland International organizations need to put in their concerted efforts.
