CLIMATE CHANGE ADAPTATION AND DISASTER RISK REDUCTION

Bangladesh has been one of the pilot countries in the Danish Climate and Development Action Programme, and a Climate Change Adaptation/Disaster Risk Reduction mission was undertaken to Dhaka in June 2007 with the aim to:

Identify information relevant for integrating climate change and disaster risk reduction concerns in national sector policies, including where appropriate an initial screening of poverty reduction strategies and other development plans in order to identify government priorities;
Identify sector relevant information in the national communications to the United Nations Framework Convention in Climate Change (UNFCCC) and National Adaptation Programmes of Action (NAPAs);
Identify approaches and concrete measures to be taken with regard to climate and disaster risk proofing in critical vulnerable sectors;
Identify and initially develop concrete proposals for operationalising climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction through ongoing development cooperation and in collaboration with relevant organisations.
