Recently, a complimentary issue of the GREENWATCH Magazine was sent to me by the popular online daily’s Editor Mostafa Kamal Majumder. The October 2025 issue of Green Watch Magazine from Dhaka stands out as a timely, well-curated publication that sheds light on key environmental, socio-political, and humanitarian issues impacting Bangladesh and the world. The magazine, led by Editor-Publisher M. K. Majumder and supported by a deicated editorial team, positions itself as a platform to amplify people’s voices for sustainable living in the face of growing climate and social crises.

The magazine’s editorial stresses the urgency of sustainable living, emphasizing long-term resource planning over short-term economic gain. It calls for global solidarity—particularly urging richer nations to support developing countries through technology, finance, and equitable climate policies, especially as major climate negotiations such as COP30 approach.

Among the articles publishes in the issue include—1.Sea Level Rise in Bangladesh: The lead article presents alarming new findings on sea level rise along Bangladesh’s coast, revealing that the threat is greater than previously estimated. Using satellite data, the feature illustrates dire projections for coastal flooding, salinity intrusion, and displacement, especially in key districts like Barishal and Pirojpur. There is a strong call for investment in infrastructure, real-time monitoring, and adaptive planning to safeguard coastal livelihoods.

2. Rohingya Refugee Crisis: A detailed analysis covers Professor Muhammad Yunus’s seven-point plan to address the protracted Rohingya crisis. The article highlights the immense strain on Bangladesh’s resources and the urgent need for international intervention, justice, and sustainable solutions for refugee repatriation and community stability.

3. Regional and Global Developments: The magazine also reports on recent international events, including the Gaza ceasefire and the devastating humanitarian cost of ongoing conflicts. Fact-based coverage quantifies losses in Gaza, underscoring the intersection of geopolitics, human rights, and environmental disaster.

I appreciate the magazine’s use of scientific studies and expert opinions which enhances credibility, making it a valuable resource for decision-makers, academics, and advocates.

There is notable integration of environmental, economic, and social perspectives—bridging coastal adaptation, agricultural security, migration, and policy reform.

The magazine could benefit from more grassroots stories, practical adaptation examples, and visual storytelling to further engage broader readership. Green Watch Magazine October 2025 issue succeeds in informing and mobilizing action on urgent challenges, with environmental sustainability and humanitarian advocacy at its core. Its detailed, well-researched features and commitment to amplifying vulnerable voices make it an essential read for those concerned with Bangladesh’s—and the planet’s—future.

The magazine also contains entertainment article and other interesting and educative issue. It has been very nicely printed in glossy papers.

I sincerely hope that more issues and thoughts will be incorporate in the GREENWATCH Magazine to enrich its content and appeal. I wish a wide circulation of the magazine plus more readerships.
