Terra Preta Sanitation: A Potential Sanitation Solution for Climate Change Adaptation and Sustainable Coastal Living in Bangladesh

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Climate change has had a significant impact on coastal regions worldwide, including Bangladesh, where sea-level rise, storms, floods, and cyclones have devastated the lives and livelihoods of coastal communities. The adverse effects have led to infrastructure damage, agricultural losses, and limited access to water and sanitation. The prevailing sanitation challenges faced by residents living in waterlogged coastlines, such as the easily washed away riverside hanging toilets, contribute to environmental pollution. In this context, Terra Preta Sanitation emerges as a potential solution that addresses these challenges while adapting to climate change and promoting sustainable natural resource management. This research explores the potential of Terra Preta Sanitation as a model for climate change adaptation in the field of sanitation. By combining literature review, case study analysis, and fieldwork, the findings of this research will be utilized to develop recommendations for the implementation of Terra Preta Sanitation systems in coastal areas. These recommendations aim not only to benefit Bangladesh but also to foster climate change adaptation and sustainable coastal living globally.
