Abstract

At present environmental awareness programme is emerging across the world although this
is a quite new phenomenon in Bangladesh. The present study attempted to know young
people’s perception about environmental change in Bangladesh. Findings of the study reveal
that majority respondents’ are aware that environmental change means changes in
temperature, rainfall, and sea level rise. Almost all respondents stated that the urbanisation
and industrialization as the main cause for environmental change. They also said that by
reducing carbon emission the environmental change can be reduced. This means that young
people are quite aware about environmental change.
