  1. Swiss Cooperation Office Bangladesh SXZ-TABTO inputs to MTR of Cooperation Strategy Bangladesh Step 7: Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation Sunday 24 October 2010, 11:30 – 13:00

  2. Current Situation • BD is clearly a “Most Vulnerable Country MVC” • CC position of BD remains ambivalent – not willing to stand up to BRIC position • Are CC funds a “compensation”? • Expectations for additional fund flows are (too) high • A differentiated picture on effects and their mutual influence is very limited • Lots of bullshit being said in public/media

  3. But: • Bangladesh CC Strategy and Action Plan 2009 is quite solid  comprehensive, covers both adaptation and mitigation yet it lacks priorities and scheduling costing: additional 1 billion USD / year for 2009-14 • National Climate Change Fund created in 2009 (USD 100 million), but little disbursed • Bangladesh Climate Change Resilience Fund BCCRF created as a multi-donor trust fund administered by WB, current pledges = USD 120 million, with no specific duration

  4. Challenges: • Link CC activities into 5 Year Plan 2011-16, and into MTBF • Coordination between ministries and entities concerned  Min. of Environment and Forests has little convening power needs considerable capacity building • Coordination between Annual Development Plan (= Govt. capital expenditure program), ODA funded activities, and BCCRF financed activities articulation CCAM agenda vs. food security agenda? • Avoid trap of seeing CC as an infrastructure issue

  5. Future Swiss Cooperation Strategy: • Cannot really avoid addressing CC in a MVC • Obvious: Mainstream “climate proving” into E&I program = making a more diversified and integrated agriculture at the same time more shock-prove = “climate resilient cropping systems” • Problem: this is hard to communicate as a specific contribution to CCAM

  6. Future Swiss Cooperation Strategy: Should we look into: • Food Security: What about (Micro)Insurance issues? Fisheries? • Comprehensive Disaster Management: what DRR activities in future? • Infrastructure: Community based water management infrastructure? • Research and Knowledge Management collaborations between research institutions? • Low carbon development energy efficiency, renewable energy?  link to Swiss cleantech strategy (Message 13-16)?

  7. Future Swiss Cooperation Strategy: • At the moment no clear articulation between GPCC and Program Bangladesh • …. apart from BCCRF as a potentially innovative mechanism • Future Swiss strategy re. additional CCAM funding post-Cancun??
