Acknowledging that effective medium- and long-term adaptation strategies are crucial to reducing the negative impacts of climate change and promoting sustainable planning for future development routes, the Government of Bangladesh initiated the formulation of its national adaptation plan under the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC), aiming for a viable path to climate-resilient development and reduced climate risks and vulnerabilities. The formulation of the National Adaptation Plan of Bangladesh 2023-2050 (NAP) follows the National Adaptation Programme of Action (NAPA, 2005) and Bangladesh Climate Change Strategy and Action Plan (BCCSAP, 2009), aiming to further streamline and reinforce adaptation efforts. Developing the plan has been a continuous, iterative, and progressive process that is country-driven, based on both the latest science and indigenous knowledge, and fully transparent. The NAP has relied heavily on extensive stakeholder consultations for feedback and shared views on climate change effects.
