Climate Change Cell

by | 23-02-2013 17:28 recommendations 0

Bangladesh is one of the most vulnerable countries to climate change due to global warming. According to current scientific understanding, the state of well being and survival of the people in Bangladesh will be under serious threat from climate change over the coming decades. 

As a pioneer initiative of the government to combat climate change the Climate Change Cell was established in the Department of Environment (DoE), Bangladesh in 2004 under the Comprehensive Disaster Management Programme (CDMP). On successful completion of its first phase, the second phase started in 2010 under CDMP II with ?Support to the Department of Environment?s Climate Change Cell, Bangladesh? project. 

The purpose of this project are to enhance the technical capacity of DoE in supporting the Government in climate change related policy and programme development, to integrate climate change considerations into existing development interventions and to support the Government in its role in coordination and negotiation efforts.

The mandated work of the Cell is to prepare technical papers for the MoEF to support international negotiations, prepare documentary on climate change vulnerable sectors of Bangladesh publish quarterly online newsletters, formulate climate change mainstreaming guidelines, develop sectoral training modules etc. Major on-going studies under this project/Cell include: Study on sea level rise impact in the coastal zone of Bangladesh sectoral vulnerability and financial need assessment in Fisheries and Livestock sector and in biodiversity and marine ecosystem of Bangladesh. Development of an updated and web enabled Climate Change Database is under process. A Climate Change Knowledge Network (CCKN) was established which is active in dissemination of research findings of the Cell as well as other line agencies on climate change issue.

    I've just read your article on the air pollution in Dhaka. In regard to the environmental situation of Bangladesh, these kinds of measures must be taken right away.
