COUNTRY SNAPSHOT

The document details CDKN's support for Bangladesh in advancing the 'Loss and Damage' agenda within the UNFCCC, including the creation of case studies and training for officials. It also highlights the development of a participatory monitoring and evaluation (M&E) tool for community-based adaptation (CBA) by the ARCAB partnership, which has been scaled up to Somalia and Ethiopia. Additionally, it mentions research on climate-induced displacement in Bangladesh conducted by the University of Sussex and the University of Bangladesh.

• The Government of Bangladesh, supported by CDKN, has played a leading role in advancing the issue of Loss and Damage within UNFCCC negotiations, contributing to the inclusion of the term in an international legal document and securing funding pledges from industrialised countries at COP 18.
• The 'Action-Research on Community Based Adaptation Bangladesh' (ARCAB) project developed a participatory monitoring and evaluation (M&E) tool for community adaptation initiatives. This tool has been adopted internationally, specifically by Save the Children for projects in Somalia, Somaliland, and Ethiopia, and is used by the Africa Climate Change Resilience Alliance (ACCRA) in its logical framework.
• CDKN is facilitating research on climate-induced migration in Bangladesh through a partnership between the University of Sussex and the University of Bangladesh to analyze the impact of climate change on human displacement and review existing policy frameworks.
