BCCP, in collaboration with UN Women Bangladesh, has been empowering disaster and climate-vulnerable women in the most disaster-prone regions of the country. Through a series of Courtyard Meetings in Khulna and Satkhira, we’ve raised awareness on gender equality, women’s rights, and climate change adaptation.

Our focus has been to educate the local community, especially women, girls, and gender-diverse groups, on securing equal access to a sustainable environment and reducing their climate vulnerability.

Thank you to Prerona NGO and Bindu for their support in organizing these impactful sessions. Together, we are working toward a safer, more inclusive future for all! 💚

BCCP recently conducted a two-day training workshop across 10 upazilas in Bangladesh, including Chilmari, Kurigram Sadar, Dewanganj, Islampur, Koyra, Dacope, Shyamnagar, Kaliganj, Chakaria, and Teknaf. The workshop aimed to enhance the capacity of local-level government officials from various ministries to effectively implement the Bangladesh Climate Change and Gender Action Plan (CCGAP).

The training focused on equipping officials with the skills and knowledge to integrate gender equality into climate change adaptation strategies at the local level. With regions like Koyra, Dacope facing severe climate-related challenges such as flooding and cyclones, the workshop emphasized the importance of inclusive, gender-sensitive climate resilience.

A key focus was ensuring women’s active participation in climate resilience strategies, as women, particularly in rural areas, are often the most affected by climate change but are frequently excluded from decision-making processes. By promoting gender equity in adaptation plans, BCCP aims to foster stronger, more resilient communities across Bangladesh.

Let’s continue to build an equitable and sustainable future for all! 💪🌍
