Our Focus Areas

Climate Action (SDG-13)

  • We address the threats of climate change in Bangladesh through a two-fold approach:
    • Mitigation: We promote renewable energy sources like solar and wind power to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. We also encourage sustainable practices like climate-smart agriculture and energy-efficient technologies.
    • Adaptation: We support coastal communities most vulnerable to climate change impacts like sea level rise and extreme weather events. This includes projects on building flood defenses, promoting salt-tolerant crops, and disaster preparedness training.
