This project is to support the Government of Bangladesh in preparing its Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDC) for submission to the UNFCCC to feed into the Paris 2015 Conference of Parties (CoP). It will provide the Ministry of Environment and Forestry with stronger and more targeted evidence on the current and future mitigation actions and develop an approach that is most suitable for the national context. Given that the support so far has been adaptation focused, advancing mitigation activities and building understanding of government will contribute strongly to mainstreaming CCD in national policies and plans ultimately leading to a coordinated position in global debates and contributing to the global process on a newly emerging method of handling the impacts of climate change.
