Sharing Adaptation Failure to Improve Adaptation Outcomes

By ICCCAD
September 23, 2020
in :  Journal Article, Publications
233

Sharing lessons is critical for ensuring that finite funding for climate change adaptation is deployed in ways that provide the most value and impact. Successes are celebrated, but failures are habitually obscured, leaving a major knowledge base untapped. This commentary calls for the urgent sharing of failures as a source of critical learning.

I (don’t) want to live here! Exploring perceptions of liveability in Bangladesh

By ICCCAD
September 17, 2020
in :  Article
313

What makes people prefer one place over another? Liveability is a popular topic, but smaller cities are still left unexplored. Istiakh Ahmed from the International Centre for Climate Change and Development wonders what residents in coastal Bangladesh consider a liveable, even loveable city. “Living in Dhaka has become impossible; this city is not liveable at all”. Living in Dhaka for …

Rethinking Nature: A Pathway towards Sustainable Development?

By ICCCAD
September 16, 2020
in :  Publications
207

Nature and people are closely interconnected but our current approaches and actions to speed up economic growth are harming nature. Rapid industrialization, unplanned urbanization, and excessive resource utilization are rapidly changing the quality of our ecosystems and, of course, changing our climate. To ensure sustainable, healthy societies we need to learn from nature and incorporate it when solving our development …

Why emission reduction and resilience are two sides of the same coin

By ICCCAD
August 12, 2020
in :  Article, Dr Saleemul Huq Media, Publications
152

Under the UN, reduction of emissions(mitigation) and resilience (adapting to climate change impacts) are often treated as two discrete areas. But as the world is already experiencing the impacts of climate change — such as the recent ‘super cyclone’ and flooding in Bangladesh, or the wildfires in Australia — we are going to have to adapt our infrastructure to be …

Coronavirus: how lockdown exposed food insecurity in a small Bangladeshi city

By ICCCAD
July 16, 2020
in :  Article
533

The COVID-19 pandemic has emerged as far more than a health crisis for the world’s poor and marginalised, exposing faultlines in food systems around the world. The UN’s World Food Programme warned in early July that 270 million people will face food insecurity before the end of 2020. Our ongoing research in Mongla, a small coastal city of 106,000 people in southwestern Bangladesh, is …
