  • Strengthening Climate Adaptation Through Gender-Responsive Action in Bangladesh – Global Center on Adaptation

    The Global Center on Adaptation (GCA) in Bangladesh is strengthening gender equality and social inclusion in climate adaptation efforts through training sessions for internal Program Focals and partner organizations. The training aims to embed gender-responsive approaches into climate adaptation planning, implementation, and monitoring, with participants learning practical tools to apply gender analysis across program cycles. Real-world practice is already being influenced, with project consultants incorporating concepts of equality and equity into infrastructure projects and partners ensuring women and marginalized groups have a voice in defining local adaptation priorities. Recognizing diverse voices and incorporating gender evaluation is essential for strong resilience in climate adaptation, shaping a more equitable, inclusive, and sustainable future for climate action in Bangladesh.

  • New ventures set out to tackle the plastic choking Bangladesh’s ECAs

    Bangladesh is struggling with a significant amount of single-use plastic waste being discarded annually, leading to environmental degradation and harm to ecosystems. To address this issue, the NGO BRAC has launched a project to recycle single-use plastic waste into raw materials for plastic products in Ecologically Critical Areas, aiming to create a market for the recycled materials and promote entrepreneurship in managing plastic waste. The success of this project has prompted plans to replicate it nationwide, while the government has also implemented measures to limit single-use plastic use and promote biodegradable alternatives to protect the environment, especially in popular tourist destinations like the Sundarbans and Cox's Bazar.
