The latest IPCC reports continue to draw grave pictures for Bangladesh, along with the world, under changing climate. The latest thorough analysis of Bangladesh’s climate vulnerability can be found in the draft National Adaptation Plan of Bangladesh (2022) To adapt to climate change impacts, the people, government agencies, NGOs, and the development partners of Bangladesh have been piloting and scaling up different adaptation options and innovations with opportunities for mainstreaming. These actions ranged from tackling water scarcity in saline-prone areas to inventing new crop varieties to survive drought, salt, and floods to make houses and boats stronger to face extreme weather events. In terms of the financial costs of climate change, different (need) assessment studies showcased the losses and damages a cyclone or a flood cost. A 2019 study by IIED showed that Bangladesh’s rural families spend US$ 2 billion every year on climate change, which is equivalent to US$ 79/family. More recently, a study was conducted in Shyamnagar (Satkhira), Dimla (Nilphamari), and Tahirpur (Sunamganj) to estimate the loss and damage incurred by individual household in different sectors because of extreme climate events. The estimated cost ranged from US$ 568 to US$ 1,054 per household per event. TIMESCALES
