| Project Detail |
To help the Government of Bangladesh (GoB) implement critical policy and institutional reforms to mainstream climate change adaptation and mitigation actions for a sustainable, resilient and inclusive growth of Bangladesh.
DESCRIPTION
The proposed Program will support the GoB in undertaking key policy and institutional reforms to mainstream climate adaptation, mitigation, and disaster resilience in climate-critical sectors and unlock climate investments in Bangladesh. The Program supports implementation of the GoB-led national climate objectives as articulated in the National Adaptation Plan (NAP), 2023–2050 and the Nationally Determined Contributions 2021 Update (NDC-U) by strengthening the intergovernmental policy and institutional framework, mobilizing climate finance, and mainstreaming gender equality and social inclusion. The Program includes the following reform areas: (i) enhancing the enabling environment for climate change actions; (ii) reinforcing climate change adaptation actions; and (iii) accelerating climate change mitigation actions. The Program focuses on immediate policy actions in each reform area and aligns with the short-term priorities of NAP and NDC-U in climate-critical sectors including agriculture, water resources, urban, transport, and energy. |
