Bangladesh Climate Change and Gender Action Plan

The first Climate Change Gender and Action Plan (ccGAP) demonstrated the government’s commitment to sustainable development in tackling the effects of climate change. It was prepared in 2013 to ensure gender equality and inclusion in climate change-related policies, strategies, and interventions as a follow-up of the Bangladesh Climate Change Strategy and Action Plan (BCCSAP). The recent initiative of revising and updating the BCCSAP, 2009, and preparation of the National Adaptation Plan of Bangladesh (NAP), necessitated revising and updating the ccGAP as well.

UN Women in partnership with Bangladesh Climate Change Trust (BCCT) initiated revision and updating the ccGAP, 2013. IUCN provided technical support in the process keeping in focus the approaches of the Mujib Climate Prosperity Plan, Decade - 2030 while aligning with the NAP 2022, and the updated Bangladesh Climate Change Strategy and Action Plan.
