Bangladesh

This brief tries to establish an eco-hydrological perspective on floods. It suggests devising a policy response which considers four dimensions of hydrological interactions within the river-floodplain ecosystems – lateral, longitudinal, vertical and temporal.

This paper addresses the challenges of tackling climate change with nature-based solutions (NbS) in Bangladesh. Lower income countries such as Bangladesh face severe climate threats such as floods, droughts, storms and heat waves.

This research was commissioned to analyse the issues and additional considerations around gender in Disaster Risk Financing (DRF) programming.

The editorial captures how climate change is putting food production at risk, and how disasters affect food security and the agriculture sector as a whole.

Disaster management plans need to adapt to the climate crisis and human displacement and reduce migrants’ vulnerability while responding to infectious disease transmission. This is especially critical for vulnerable countries like Bangladesh.

This study investigates the role of local institutions (formal, informal, and quasi-formal) in creating learning arenas and translating social learning into collective action in flash flood-prone Sunamganj communities in Bangladesh.

This working paper is based on a study carried out to improve understanding of, and identify actions to address, climate change-induced loss and damage in Bangladesh.

This paper discusses climate change in Bangladesh, as the country is getting hotter and more humid with erratic rainfall. Bangladesh is associated with having six seasons; however, the distinct features of these seasons are becoming increasingly blurred.
