The scenario Dhaka City, Bangladesh, is severely affected by heavy rainfall in monsoon season and less in dry season, recurrence floods, high temperature, and other disastrous effects.The vehicle fleet of Dhaka City is growing at an accelerated rate with high vehicle population growth contributing higher rate of energy consumption and corresponding GhG emissions. Overall transport environment of Dhaka is characterized by congestion, public transport crisis, and unaffordable public transport for many people and increasing air pollution problem.The growing energy use by the transport sector is increasing energy pressure and thus contributing to climate change.The main aim of the present study is to identify a sustainable transportation system for Dhaka City to achieve environment friendly energy consumption for having no/low impact on climatic change with detailed objectives ¿ assessing the baseline situation of transport sector and climatic condition of Dhaka City; assessing the present fuel consumption pattern in transport sector and GhG emissions from transport sector in Dhaka City and formulating guidelines to reduce transport related GhG emissions.

Bangladesh is a country vast, largely unknown natural beauty and reserves which are simply unique and fascinating, holding high potentiality for tourism. In many parts of the world, tourism has contributed to the dual goal of poverty eradication and conservation. The co-existence of nature with impoverished communities offers an opportunity for pro-poor tourism. Tourism can support livelihood diversification, which is particularly important in remote areas as it is also labor-intensive, can grow with unspecialized labor and has low entry barriers. Bangladesh has limited natural forest resources which are very necessary for the ecological balance in the country and hence these should be protected efficiently. The present research work seeks to gain an understanding of ecotourism in a global context by examining how it has been conceptualized over time and analyzing the fields from which the concept originated. The work discusses how conservation and ecotourism has been conceptualized and implemented in Bangladesh by analyzing historical developments in environmental issues, the national economy, and the national tourism sector.
