Bangladesh consistently ranks as one of the most vulnerable countries to climate change. About twothirds of the country’s land area is prone to river and rainwater flooding, and its coastlines are exposed to storm surges and tidal flooding. As a result, the country is particularly vulnerable to sea level rise, higher precipitation during the monsoon season, tropical cyclones, and glacial retreat in the Himalayas, all projected to be exacerbated by climate change. While Bangladesh’s approaches to managing water and water-related risks have evolved over time, climate shocks have continually hindered its socioeconomic development by undermining the productivity of economic sectors such as agriculture and negatively affecting water and food security, as well as human health.
