In recent years in Bangladesh, there has been regular cyclonic event, flooding and erratic pre-monsoon precipitation, that has hampered production greatly and forced Bangladesh to import salt from abroad to manage market deficiency. There is much uncertainty about the effects of climate change on the frequency and intensity of small-scale, sudden-o...

Climate change causes weather extremes to rise in frequency and severity, which could have detrimental effects on human life, property, and livelihood activity. There is uncertainty about the influences of anthropogenic climate change on the occurrence and severity of small-scale, sudden onset weather phenomena such as hailstorms and subsequent los...

Access to energy is fundamental to improving the quality of life and is a crucial imperative for economic and social development. It is also vital to a country’s ability to generate income, provide jobs and stimulate trade and growth. In recent decades, Bangladesh has made significant progress in energy production. However, the people of the northe...

In recent years, climate change-induced weather anomalies in the salt-producing areas in Bangladesh are hugely hindering production and forced the country to import salt from abroad to manage the market shortfall. Several studies indicate that an obvious strong relationship exists between irregular rainfall and associated loss and damage. Currently...

Climate services are the use of climate knowledge and information in climate-smart development. This study aims to explore the understanding and level of resilience at community level, including the potential of climate information services in promoting INDC, BCCSAP, LAPA. We also look at the adaptation and mitigation paradigm with smart mobile pho...

In recent years, the salt-producing areas in Bangladesh are experiencing a frequent cyclonic surge, tidal inundation and uneven rainfall in the pre-monsoon period, which hugely hampering production and forced the country to import salt from abroad to manage the market shortfall. However, there is much uncertainty about the effects of anthropogenic...

Working Paper on Climate Change Adaptation using Information and Communication Technology and Its Potential on LAPA

Heavy rainfalls, as well as an onrush of water from the upstream Meghalaya hills in India, have resulted to the inundation of a considerable area of croplands of haors and the low-lying regions of the north-eastern Bangladesh. The flood started at the end of March 2017 and ended up in mid to end of April 2017. It has affected six districts namely S...

Riverbank erosion is a widespread natural disaster in rural Bangladesh which results in rapid growth in a forced internal migration of people. These internally displaced people (IDPs) migrate to the urban slum areas after losing their residents for a better work opportunity and essential services. This study focuses on people’s migration pattern in...

Bangladesh has ranked as one of the world’s most disaster-prone countries. The coastal areas of Bangladesh are a zone of multiple disasters, including cyclone, erosion, storm surge, water and soil salinity, and flood. The combination of diverse varieties of hazards are resulting in extensive loss and damage to life and properties and slowed down th...
