Bangladesh Climate Change Strategy and Action Plan – September 2008

The Bangladeshi government acknowledges the likely impact of climate change on the country, which is expected to be significantly high. Consequently, the Bangladesh Climate Change Strategy and Action Plan (BCCSAP) is to be treated as a “living document” which will be constantly revised as likely impacts and best responses are better understood. The strategy encompasses actions under 6 broad categories with emphasis on sustainable development, poverty reduction and increased well being of all vulnerable groups with a special focus on gender sensitivity.
