In 2020, 725 ha eroded along the Jamuna, 460 ha along the Ganges and 780 ha along the Padma. Currently, on average, total erosion in Bangladesh is 3,000 ha per year, displacing approximately 25,000 people annually. p. 23

Boro rice is the only major crop in the northeastern areas. Almost 80 per cent of the area is losses reached $27.84 million. Around 3,600 schools suspended activities, and 480,000 people were displaced (UN RC Bangladesh, 2022). p. 25

Increased salinity. Potential impact: Internal displacement p. 37

Adverse impacts of climate change in rural areas may increase internal migration to urban areas. People migrating into urban areas as a result of climate induced disasters are the most vulnerable in the society. p. 45

The impact of climate change on livelihoods may propel approximately 19.9 million internal climate migrants by the 2050s, half the projected climate migrants of the entire South Asia region (Clement, Rigaud, de Sherbinin, et al., 2021). p. 47

Youth are the future of any nation but climate chang nduce d disas ters may l imit t heir prospects. They face difficulties in maintaining basic needs such as food, clothing and education, while disasters can also hamper social and mental development. Many youth are forced to engage in labour due to disaster-impelled migration from coastal areas, a pattern evident in other forms of fallout due to climate change. p. 48

Adaptation coordinated with the medium- and long-term strategies of the BDP2100 and its 52 climate adaptation projects would make a climateresilient, prosperous delta. In terms of physical interventions, preferences are to introduce funds or allowances for vulnerable communities to reduce their poverty, build resilience, mitigate climate change-induced migration and losses and damages, and improve livelihoods...Transboundary river and basin-level cooperation, basin wide and participatory water resources management, climate-sensitive land zoning and planned resettlement to halt climate migration are considered potential policy initiatives. p. 58

Integrated waste and urban drainage management can create a holistic solution for both issues, supported by standard guidelines, manuals and modelling. Implementation of NAP will help develop climate-smart, livable, pollution-free, clean and healthy cities through city climate action plans (City-CAP) up to municipality level and considering peri-urban areas, poor urban communities and the potential influx of climate migrants. p. 65

The cultivation of skills and capacities will emphasize reaching vulnerable communities including women, people with diverse gender identities, the elderly, persons with disabilities, youth and children, ethnic communities, urban slum dwellers, climate migrants and other socially disadvantaged groups. p. 68 Quote: 01 Interventions of NAP sectors: Protection and enhanced resilience of climate migrants with a particular focus on gender and disability p, 73

Polder-related interventions could continue until the 2050s as the projected threshold or storm surge height is within the limits of tipping points of the adaptation measures, even considering +2 m freeboard in design of polder height. All polders may not face a similar situation, however. Therefore, pumping during excess floods, sea wall construction over sea dikes or polders, and planned relocation of settlements are anticipated to start earlier than the 2050s. p. 80

Tree coverage will increase by 5 percent through mangrove planting and the stabilization of 0.5 Million hectares of land, the facilitation of social forestry, multifunctional hill forests and afforestation. Annual deaths from climate-induced disasters will fall. The vulnerabilities of 15 million climate migrants will decline; forest-dependent livelihoods will improve; property values will increase; carbon sequestration will rise and emissions will decline. p. 94

Interventions: Protection and enhanced resilience of climate migrants with a particular: Development of an inventory of existing and potential climate migrants, and strengthening response and recovery mechanisms  Alternative livelihoods, job creation and income-generation activities  Planned internal climate migrant management in urban areas p. 149 Qoute 0 Focus on gender and disability: Development of index-based insurance mechanisms (such as weather-based crop insurance) for potential climate migrants and their livelihoods  Improve the financial condition of climate migrants.Planned relocation p. 150

Development of city climate action plans for major urban and peri-urban areas emphasizing the resilience of urban-poor communities and climate migrants: Adopt climate and disaster risk recovery mechanisms for urban slum dwellers, the urban poor and climate migrants  Adopt low-impact development principles, 3R principles, and urban green and blue conservation and expansion  Develop implementable actions for the short, medium and long term for climateresilient city development that enhances the resilience of the urban poor and climate migrants along with implementation mechanisms and financing modalities p. 162
