A study has identified inflation, particularly in food prices, and climate change as the main challenges facing Bangladesh in achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDG). The 'Social Watch Report 2010' also highlighted debt servicing, poor revenue collection, and a decrease in foreign direct investment as additional obstacles. The report was launched by the Dhaka-based research arm Unnayan Shumunnay, which revealed that Bangladesh has remained stagnant at 61 in its Basic Capabilities Index (BCI) over the past decade, with concerns regarding child mortality, maternal health, and education. In comparison, Pakistan has shown significant progress, moving from 55 to 65 in 2000. Nepal and India have made progress in their rankings, while Sri Lanka leads the region with a score of 99. The report highlights that MDGs are still seen as political goals, as global defense spending is significantly higher than aid to developing nations. To reach MDGs worldwide by 2015, an estimated $100-120 billion annually would be needed, which is less than 0.5 percent of global GDP according to a Social Watch study. Another study cited in the report suggests Bangladesh would require $7.5 billion in annual aid, five times more than current levels, to achieve MDGs. The report also addresses climate change, noting that Bangladesh, despite being a minor polluter, is heavily impacted by climate change. The report states that the country's greenhouse gas emissions make up less than 0.2% of the global total. Social Watch predicts that climate change will pose ongoing challenges for the country's efforts to increase economic growth and reduce poverty at the anticipated rate.
