The benefits of clean energy policies in Bangladesh

The document outlines the potential positive impacts of clean energy policies in Bangladesh, based on modelling by the USAID Catalyzing Clean Energy in Bangladesh (CCEB) program. It argues that prioritizing renewable energy over conventional fossil fuel sources in long-term planning will lead to significant greenhouse gas mitigation, job creation, and public health improvements.

• By 2030, increasing the share of clean energy in Bangladesh's power generation mix compared to a 'business-as-usual' scenario could result in a reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by as much as 20%.
• The transition to clean energy is projected to create up to 55,000 full-time equivalent domestic jobs in Bangladesh by 2030.
• Clean energy policies could provide substantial public health and economic gains by 2030, including saving up to 27,000 lives and over US$5 billion (BDT 420 billion).
