Climate change has already received global attention as it is threatening vulnerable communities, sectors, regions, and countries. Bangladesh, especially in coastal areas, is not of exception, because of witnessed the adverse effects of climate change. Increasing industrialization, urbanization, and the greenhouse effect are affecting the climate and causing scenarios like increased soil and water salinity, deforestation, surface water contamination, reduced groundwater level, heavy metal pollution in soil, water, and food, malnutrition, temperature rise, late precipitation, and cropping season shifting etc. These adverse effects affect people’s well-being, particularly vulnerable communities, agricultural production, and natural biodiversity. This paper is focused on reviewing literature about the impact of climate change on the soil-water, food, and nutrition sectors in coastal areas of Bangladesh. According to this study, climate change has made the coastal region of Bangladesh even more vulnerable to problems with nutrition, food security, and soil-water quality. Sustainable farming methods, climate-smart agriculture (CSA), and creative approaches to water management, livelihood diversification, and enhancing emergency and humanitarian responses should be the main focuses of climate crisis solutions. Thus, coordinating these initiatives with the management of the climate crisis will enhance sustainable development goals (SDGs) and promote long-term prosperity and food security for the coastal community.
