Bangladesh has taken a major step towards its ?rst National Climate Finance Strategy, aiming to bridge the gap between ambitious climate commitments and the ?nancing needed to protect vulnerable communities.
through a series of nationwide consultations, from November to December 2025, convened by the Finance Division, with UNDP providing technical assistance and ?nancing from Agence Française de Développement (AFD) under the Inclusive Budgeting and Financing for Climate Resilience (IBFCR II) project, the country is laying the foundation for a comprehensive roadmap to mobilize and manage climate ?nance at scale. Climate ?nance is increasingly woven into Bangladesh’s public ?nancial management systems, and these dialogues will further deepen that integration and unlock new investment streams for resilience.
