Where can I find information on climate change policies and CC finance instruments in Bangladesh?

What are the current central themes of climate change research?

Climate change adaptation.

Recent reviews on climate change adaptation have indicated that there are many cases where strategies and plans have been developed, but not yet implemented. 

In the IPCC 5th Assessment Report, Working Group II - Impacts, Adaptation and Vulnerability, some common barriers are identified from the research literature, including institutional barriers, unclear technical and policy guidance, and weak coordination among various interests in management and governance. 

How important is scientific uncertainty?  Is implementation cost a significant barrier? Some studies discuss the idea of strengthening response capacity or resilience, but what does this mean in practice?  Is direct linkage with sustainable development plans important? Do we need more research on planning processes, or should the focus be on the study of adaptation goals themselves, the trade-offs between goals, or the comparative assessment of effectiveness of adaptation strategies within future scenarios of climate change?  

Or, is the real concern more about barriers in communication with local stakeholders, including practitioners, knowledge holders and decision makers? Is this more important than research gaps themselves? How could a collaborative research approach with stakeholders better enable science-based decision making on climate change adaptation? 

The three dimension of vulnerability - Exposure, Sensitivity and Adaptive capacity can be measured through indicators. These indicators can be aggregated to define each dimension separately. I wish your  inputs for the following:

1. The functional form of aggregation of three dimension (such as difference of Adaptive capacity and sensitivity may be divided by Exposure; or any other issues) and reason thereon

2. How functionally social vulnerability is linked with adaptation (functional formulation) with appropriate functional form 

In my opinion, not all the adaptations are a response to climate change. For example, late sowing, attributed always as a response to changing climate, may be, most of the time, an outcome of crop intensification. When we are cropping multiple crops the sowing of these crops may shift early or late which actually is not a response to climate change. Similar to this, what other adaptation you think are not a response to climate change

hello scholars,

what method; be it statistics, mathematical or modeling approach can I use to determine the part of a basin/watershed that is most affected by the combined impact of climate and land use change or their individual impact

Dear All, Good day!

Since uncertainties inherent in climate models, adaptation thresholds are constantly shifting and this makes setting long-term resilience goals a very challenging task. How to address the uncertainties in the climate model and does it really help to improve adaptation capacity and enhance resilience building?

In many south Asian countries including India, Nepal, Bangladesh, women farmers are playing an important role in agriculture. With effects of climatic change more visible and severe than ever, women are evolving their own mechanisms to fight the after effects to mitigate the risk and uncertainty. What are your views on challenges faced by the women and strategies adopted by them to minimize the risk and uncertainty in agricultural production. Any links to studies on this topic are welcome.

We know that climate-change is real. We are facing abrupt disasters every year randomly in many places of the world. It can become everyone's problem and those problem can be unavoidable like we have been avoiding climate change. We cannot just switch to electric car or shut down the industrialized realm to fight this problem. But what if every person changed their habit of consumption /utilization? Scientific society is aware enough and may have been practicing more cleaner or greener ways of lives but how can we propagate this awareness to other people whose priority for clean/green environment is at the bottom of their list?
