  5. Sub-national Stakeholder Consultation National Consultation Sub-national Stakeholder Consultation Khulna Rajshahi Sylhet Chittagong

  6. Experiences and Learning Four Sub-national Stakeholder Consultation: What we tried? Identification of problems related to weather and climate; Identification of existing coping strategies/measures to reduce these risk and impacts; How these existing coping strategies/measures can be improved?; and If existing problems aggravated/become more worst, what are the new strategies/measures can be undertaken in future?

  7. Experiences and Learning Four Sub-national Stakeholder Consultation: What we Learn? Local level peoples are able to identify problems related to climate variability and extreme They know benefits and limitations of existing coping strategies and measures; Suggestions for improving existing coping strategies and measures are also valuable, but to make concrete suggestions are difficult; They have limited knowledge on what to do if problems aggravated; Difficulties: problems related to climate variability, extreme events versus other environmental and development problems

  8. Experiences and Learning Consultation with Government Agencies: What we tried? Share sub-national problems and concerns with relevant department and agencies; How those problems and concern can be addressed under their exiting policies and programme?; Seek suggestions

  9. Experiences and Learning Consultation with Government Agencies: What we learn? A few have policies to address exiting and future problems related to climate and climate change; Most have no explicit polities to deal with climate change There are number of projects dealing existing problems related to extreme events, problems like drought Present priority is not to deal with climate change There are also limited knowledge at institutional level on how to deal with problems related to climate change – Knowledge gap (National Water Policy and National Water Resource Management Plan)

  10. Experiences and Learning Consultation with Local Consultative Group: What we learn? Most of them has no explicit policy to deal problems related to climate change but awareness is increasing Development Bank like ADB will come forward only if government express to deal climate change issues in their development projects

  11. Key Remarks Sub-national stakeholder engagement and consultation is found a very good approach to bring context specific problems Engagement of different types of stakeholders (man, women, farmers, NGO and government agencies) is necessary Differentiation of other environmental and development problems versus climate related problems were key difficulties during sub-national stakeholder consultation Role of a facilitator is crucial to stimulate group discussion and keep it on track
