Ahead of the upcoming Climate Conference COP30, UNDP Resident Representative Stefan Liller and UNDP Bangladesh’s Goodwill Ambassador Jaya Ahsan visited Dacope, Khulna recently to witness firsthand how climate change is transforming lives in Bangladesh’s coastal regions. The visit aimed to understand the real impacts of climate change and highlight how local communities are rebuilding their lives through adaptive livelihood practices and community-led resilience initiatives. The message of the visit was clear, the world must act urgently to protect the most vulnerable and strengthen adaptation measures in climate-affected countries like Bangladesh, said an UNDP press release today. During the visit, the delegation observed the Local Government Initiative on Climate Change (LoGIC) project, implemented by UNDP and UNCDF with support from the Government of Bangladesh, Sweden, and Denmark. The project plays a vital role in enhancing the resilience of climate-vulnerable populations, especially women by strengthening local governance and supporting community-driven adaptation actions.
