Policy Discourse Analysis-Bangladesh: Climate Resilient Landscapes & Livelihoods

Climate change is a cross sectoral issue with impacts on development and growth. There is a need to integrate climate change responses into development planning in order to ensure that development and growth objectives are resilient to the impacts of climate change.~Among nations, Bangladesh is most vulnerable to climate change. The government, civil society and development partners have undertaken a wide range of initiatives to formulate strategies, policies, programmes and funding mechanisms to ensure the country’s transition to climate resilience.~Based on a policy discourse analysis, this paper explores how climate change resilience enters into existing development discourses that underpin policymaking in Bangladesh.
