Abstract

Bangladesh is extremely climate vulnerable and will be even more so due to climate change. There are high existing impacts in Bangladesh from current climate variability from floods, cyclones, and droughts, exacerbated by the already very high level of multidimensional poverty. In addition, the country faces extremely large long-term challenges from climate change, in particular from sea level rise and higher cyclone intensity and frequency. In South Asia – and Bangladesh particularly - projections indicate there will be more frequent extreme events coinciding with zones of considerable poverty (IPCC, 2014; and CDKN, 2014).
