The International Conference on “Soil, Water and Environmental Resilience in the Coastal Zone of Bangladesh under a Changing Climate” aims to bring together researchers, scholars, and professionals to exchange knowledge, discuss challenges, and explore sustainable solutions for soil and water management in coastal regions affected by climate change.
Bangladesh’s coastal zone, one of the most vulnerable areas globally, is facing increasing challenges such as salinity intrusion, land degradation, sea-level rise, and freshwater scarcity. These environmental threats directly affect agricultural productivity, food security, and ecosystem health. The conference encourages the submission of abstracts that contribute to understanding, managing, and mitigating these issues through scientific innovation and interdisciplinary collaboration.
The conference will be honored by the presence of the Chief Guest, Dr. Shaikh Faridul Islam, Honorable Minister of the State, Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, Government of the People's Republic of Bangladesh. The conference will also feature a distinguished Keynote Speaker, Professor Dr. Xinhua Peng, from the Institute of Agricultural Resources and Regional Planning, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, China, who will deliver a keynote address sharing his research insights and perspectives on soil, water, and environmental sustainability. In addition, the conference will welcome Guest Speaker, Dr. Ryota Kataoka, Associate Professor, Faculty of Life and Environmental Sciences, University of Yamanashi, Japan, who will share his valuable research experiences and academic perspectives.
