The Environmental Science Discipline – the pioneer of Bangladesh in the field of formal education on the science of environment at tertiary level - was established at Khulna University in 1997 and initiated undergraduate, graduate and post graduate academic degree programmes. The Discipline aspires to celebrate its 25th year of (Silver Jubilee) establishment by organizing an International Conference on Environment with the theme ‘Climate Change and Ecosystem Restoration’ to be held during 19–20 February 2022. Such conferences would continue afterwards at two-year interval. Khulna finds its place in the global network because of its geographic location and climate change issues. This coastal region accommodates world heritage sites, and ecosystems of global importance (such as the Sundarbans mangrove), and as well is known for nature and human driven calamities such as cyclones and tidal surges. The Khulna University is located at the core of this region and experiences all the locational actualities. Khulna University attained its leadership as one of the most celebrated academic institutions in Bangladesh because of its quest for up to date academic and research endeavour.
