Boosting the resilience of rural electrification in Bangladesh: Addressing climate vulnerabilities in Bangladesh’s rural power system

This note explains how the Global Facility for Disaster Risk Reduction (GFDRR) has successfully supported Bangladesh in integrating climate resilience to the rural power system, with a specific focus on power system planning and post-disaster recovery.

Through collaboration with local and international partners, knowledge exchange, and innovative solutions, it is assisting the country to bolster the rural energy infrastructure by making it more resilient against disaster risks that are increasingly being exacerbated by climate change.
