3rd International Conference on Climate Finance ICCF 2021 (Virtual)

Climate change is the greatest threat to mankind in the twenty-first century. It is a global issue that needs to be addressed with concerted efforts from all countries and stakeholders. While some developed countries are held responsible for causing climate change, some of the less endowed countries are highly vulnerable to its consequences. The key documents, viz. the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), the Kyoto Protocol (KP) and the Paris Agreement (PA) call for assistance from Annex I Parties in four key areas - mitigation, adaptation, capacity building and finance.

MESSAGE FROM THE ED

 

ANNUAL REPORT 2012-2013

Bangladesh Centre for Advanced Studies (BCAS) started its journey in the middle of the 1980s by a multidisciplinary group of scientists. Their efforts began by addressing poverty reduction, environment degradation and enhancing socio-economic devlopment leading to good governance. In the beginning, a major source of knowledge for these scientists was from vulnerable groups and communities, many of whom were non-literate. As the process was gradually contributing to sustainable development and environment transformation, climate change emerged as a major threat to many of these poor vulnerable communities in Bangladesh. BCAS rose to that challenge and channeled efforts towards solution based research on climate vulnerabilities, adaptation and mitigation. It soon became apparent that the communities were not only vulnerable to negative impacts of climate change but their efforts to reduce poverty and achieve better standards of living were being threatened also. Consequently, BCAS led a movement to bring Community Based Adaptation (CBA) as a core concept and has established this in the global discourse. BCAS along with its partner-IIED, London, initiated the process of an international conference on CBA, a major event that is being organized every year. BCAS implemented over 50 projects of various sizes in environment-impact assessment, energy efficiency, water supply and sanitation, climate change adaptation, disaster risk reduction and livelihood promotions.
