Bangladesh: Resilience Context
Largest Delta in the world, located in GBM basin with 1000people living in per sq/km with a total 150 million people.
30 Agro-ecological Zones
Diverse ecological systems: coastal eco-system, hill eco-
system, floodplain ecosystem and Barind Eco-system Agriculture dominated economy
High exposure to flood, cyclone, salinity, drought, landslide
High susceptibility to Earthquake and Sea Level Rise Highly vulnerable country to climate change impacts- 3.7% of
GDP loss due to flood and Cyclone Sidr in 2007, while 0.31 % loss due to Aila in2009

Mainstreaming: Emerging Agendapoverty, environment, climate change and disaster
Poverty remains the main development agenda in last 4decades. The food security is considered as key factor inpoverty discourse.
Gender, Disability, Human Rights has become integral part
of poverty when mainstreaming is concerned. Environment has become a mainstreaming agenda since
1992
Disaster has become a policy agenda since 1991 Climate change has become a priority policy agenda since
2004
Poverty-Gender-Environment-Climate-Disaster nexus hasbecome an agenda since 20108/30/2013 10

Agenda Cloud Climate Change has over shadowed the agenda of Environment in
Bangladesh. DRR is seen as one of the immediate vehicle forbuilding resilience.
Whole agenda of DRR-CCA-EM-PR-FS is narrowly addressed underseveral sectoral policies, programmes and plans, and there is lack of
synergies amongst these plans and programmes. The allocation ofbusiness and narrow definition of the terms made a cloudy
atmosphere for integration.
Green Development is an emerging concept in the country under the
climate agenda (commonly conceptualized as mitigation) Policy agenda is not enough matured but external demand and
funding opportunity drives some interests
There is progressive discussions at all levels to integrate DRR-CCA-
EM-PR-FS under one niche. Resilience is the most discussedconce tual niche for such inte ration.8/30/2013 21

BCCSAPThemesTheme 1:
Food Security, Social
Protection andHealth:
The first relates to ensuring food and livelihood security, especially for the
poorest and most vulnerable in society, including women and children. It
focuses on the needs of this group for food security, safe housing, employmentand access to basic services, including health.
Theme 2
Comprehensive
Disaster
Management:
This is to further strengthen the countrys already proven disaster management systems
to deal with increasingly frequent and severe natural calamities.
Theme 3Infrastructure: This Action Plan is to ensure that existing assets (e.g. coastal and river embankments)are well-maintained and fit-for-purpose and that urgently needed infrastructure (e.g.cyclone shelters and urban drainage) is put in place to deal with the likely impacts of
climate change.
Theme 4
Research and
Knowledge
Management:
This is to predict the likely scale and timing of climate change impacts on different
sectors of the economy and socioeconomic groups; to underpin future investment
strategies; and to ensure that Bangladesh is networked into the latest global thinking on
science, and best practices of climate change management.Theme 5:
Mitigation and Low
Carbon Development:This is to evolve low carbon development options and implement these as the countrys
economy grows over the coming decades and the demand for energy increases.
Theme 6:
Capacity Building
and InstitutionalStrengthening:
This is to enhance the capacity of government ministries and agencies, civil society and
the private sector to meet the challenge of climate change and mainstream them as part
of development actions.
