Bangladesh is implementing a dual strategy to address climate change, focusing on enhancing resilience and promoting lower carbon development. Key initiatives include the national adaptation programme of action, various climate change strategies, and significant government investment in disaster risk reduction and climate resilience. The Bangladesh Climate Change Strategy and Action Plan outlines 44 programs across six strategic areas, emphasizing support for vulnerable populations.

- 4. ■ Bangladesh is adopting a two-fold strategy against climate change. The main focus of Bangladesh’s activities is on increasing our resilience to the impacts of climate change – which are already affecting the livelihoods of much of our population and will continue to do so in the future. ■ Bangladesh is also working to achieve lower carbon as well as more resilient development.

- 6. Policy Framework on Climate Change • National Adaptation Programme of Action (NAPA) • Bangladesh Climate Change Strategy and Action Plan (BCCSAP) • National Plan for Disaster Management • Renewable Energy Policy 2008 • the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Master Plan (E&CC Master Plan) • National Sustainable Development Strategy • The Perspective Plan (Vision 2021) Legal Framework on Climate Change • Bangladesh Climate Change Trust Fund Act • Disaster Management Act
- 7. ■ Mitigation contribution: – An unconditional contribution to reduce GHG emissions by 5% from Business as Usual (BAU) levels by 2030 in the power, transport and industry sectors, based on existing resources. – A conditional 15% reduction in GHG emissions from BAU levels by 2030 in the power, transport, and industry sectors, subject to appropriate international support in the form of finance, investment, technology development and transfer, and capacity building. – A number of further mitigation actions in other sectors which it intends to achieve subject to the provision of additional international resources.
- 8. THE PRIMARY GOAL FOR ADAPTATION IS TO PROTECT THE POPULATION, ENHANCE THEIR ADAPTIVE CAPACITY AND LIVELIHOOD OPTIONS, AND TO PROTECT THE OVERALL DEVELOPMENT OF THE COUNTRY IN ITS STRIDE FOR ECONOMIC PROGRESS AND WELLBEING OF THE PEOPLE Adaptation goal
- 9. Adaptation action – past and present ■ Over the last three decades, the Government of Bangladesh has invested over $10 billion to make the country more climate resilient and less vulnerable to natural disasters. Flood management embankments, coastal polders and cyclone shelters have been built, and important lessons learnt on how to implement such projects successfully in the dynamic hydrological conditions of Bangladesh and with active participation of communities. ■ To enhance climate change adaptation activities in all key policies and sectors, Bangladesh has recently established two innovative funds: the Bangladesh Climate Change Trust Fund (BCCTF) from the Government’s own budget and the Bangladesh Climate Change Resilient Fund (BCCRF) with the support of development partners ■ Bangladesh submitted the National Adaptation Programme of Action (NAPA) in 2005 (revised in 2009) and prepared a climate change action plan (the Bangladesh Climate Change Strategy and Action Plan in 2009).
- 10. BANGLADESH CLIMATE CHANGE STRATEGY AND ACTION PLAN (BCCSAP)
- 11. Bangladesh Climate Change Strategy and Action Plan (BCCSAP) ■ The BCCSAP, published by the Ministry of Environment and Forests, is a “knowledge strategy” built upon the National Adaptation Programme of Action (2005 and 2009). ■ After the 13th Conference of Parties to the UNFCCC held in Bali in December 2007, a set of actions essential to achieve a secure climate future had been identified. ■ Putting that Bali Roadmap into action has been the starting point for BCCSAP.
- 12. Bangladesh Climate Change Strategy and Action Plan (BCCSAP) ■ It sets out 44 programmes to be taken by Bangladesh over the short, medium and long term within six strategic areas: – Food security, social protection and health – Comprehensive disaster management – Infrastructure – Research and knowledge management – Mitigation and low carbon development – Capacity building and institutional strengthening ■ A common theme throughout of all of these strategic areas is the focus on the poor and vulnerable and in particular women and children. All programmes are expected to provide synergies with the government’s Vision 2021.
