Expression of Interest For Consultancy For Climate Change And Aging in Bangladesh

Work Detail

Expression of Interest are invited for Consultancy for Climate change and aging in Bangladesh. Bangladesh; one of the most climate-vulnerable countries; faces significant health risks due to rising temperatures; erratic rainfall; and changing humidity patterns; which are altering disease epidemiology. The elderly population (65+) is particularly vulnerable; with higher susceptibility to climate-induced health conditions like ischemic heart disease; renal disorders; and chronic pulmonary diseases. Urbanization and the rising burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) further exacerbate these challenges. Despite global evidence linking climate change to worsening health outcomes; knowledge gaps persist; particularly in South Asia. To address this; the World Bank health team is conducting a study on climate changes impact on elderly health in Bangladesh; using household data; localized weather conditions; and literature analysis. A two-round panel survey was conducted in January and May 2024. The World Bank health team is seeking a firm to support two additional rounds of data in May 2025 and January 2026.
