The Bay of Bengal, bordered by India, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Thailand, and Sri Lanka, nestled within the expansive canvas of the Indian Ocean, stands as a linchpin sustaining coastal states and contributing significantly to the delicate global ecological balance. However, the Bay of Bengal faces ecological challenges such as habitat loss and rising sea temperatures, impacting fisheries and coastal communities.

The panel will discuss the urgent need to integrate climate change adaptation into decision-making processes and underscore the importance of immediate action to safeguard biodiversity and ensure the resilience of coastal communities.
