Abstract/ Executive Summary:

This paper discusses good adaptation practices for adapting to climate change in Bangladesh to reduce the vulnerability of expected climate change. The analysis is based on national reviews of climate change adaptation practices, especially in Bangladesh. This review shows that Bangladeshi different communities and stakeholders are already using adaption practices related to climate risks. Good adaptation practices adopted by national and international NGOs in Bangladesh found quite fit for our environment. Tidal River Management (TRM), Green Afforestation Belt, Community Based Adaptation (CBA), floating agriculture, homestead vegetable gardening, caged-fish culture, raised flood-proof houses, elevated tube wells and latrines, diversified salt and flood-tolerant crop varieties, etc. are some examples of good adaptation practices in Bangladesh.

Objectives:

This paper discusses good adaptation practices for adapting to climate change in Bangladesh to reduce the vulnerability of expected climate change.

Methodology:

The research mostly based on a review of literature, NAPA documents, case studies of national NGOs, annual activity report of projects, journal publications of adaptation practice on agriculture sectors, fisheries and livestock sectors and water management and the issues of adaption knowledge and technology. We also conducted a content analysis of the National Adaptation Programmes of Action (NAPA, 2005) and Bangladesh Climate Change Strategy and action plan(BCCSAP, 2009). Among the reviewed literature, the focus was given on coastal aquaculture, biodiversity management, general aspects of ecological based adaptation, coastal belt afforestation, water resource management, agriculture in a coastal area, agriculture in a drought-prone area, rice and aquaculture, integrated farming, waterborne diseases, vector-borne disease, preparing a floating garden with water hyacinth, floating garden, community-based adaptation, advocacy to climate change adaptation, coastline and flood defenses, St.Martin Island adaptation practices. Finally, the paper was divided into sectors like agriculture, fisheries and livestock, etc. as adaptation practices change.

Achievement/Findings:

Several good adaptation practices have been identified that can be tailored to the future changing climate in the context of Bangladesh and can help in finding out future pathways on the integration of best adaptation practices in ongoing as well as in future Climate Change Adaptation (CCA). Tidal River Management (TRM), Green Afforestation Belt, Community Based Adaptation (CBA), floating agriculture, homestead vegetable gardening, caged-fish culture, raised flood-proof houses, elevated tube wells and latrines, diversified salt and flood-tolerant crop varieties, etc. are some examples of good adaptation practices in Bangladesh. The lessons learned so far could be replicated with modifications to be found from innovative research and applications in real field life.
