Tree Plantation by children and youth at Bagerhat

Bangladesh is exceptionally vulnerable to climate change. … It has been estimated that by 2050, one in every seven people in Bangladesh will be displaced by climate change. Up to 18 million people may have to move because of sea-level rise alone.

When it comes to removing human-caused emissions of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide from Earth’s atmosphere, trees are a big help. Through photosynthesis, trees pull the gas out of the air to help grow their leaves, branches, and roots. Forest soils can also sequester vast reservoirs of carbon.

Sports for Hope and Independence (SHI) understand the risk of Bangladesh and believe that through using sport to educate and advocate the children and youth we can minimize the risk. SHI uses sports pitches as a platform to educate children and youth on climate action. 4000?- (Four Thousand)  tree has been planted by children and youth participants at Bagerhat
