DFID is supporting climate resilience in Bangladesh in line with the Government’s manifesto commitment to work to prevent climate change and assist the poorest in adapting.
Current programmes are, for example, improving infrastructure and developing early warning systems to handle extreme weather. Since 2010/11 DFID has supported more than 2 million people in Bangladesh with improved access to clean energy. Bangladesh was one of the first countries to benefit from the international Green Climate Fund, with a $40 million project for climate resilient infrastructure.
