Bangladesh has taken a major step towards its first National Climate Finance Strategy, aiming to bridge the gap between ambitious climate commitments and the financing 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 financing 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 finance at scale.
Climate finance is increasingly woven into Bangladesh’s public financial management systems, and these dialogues will further deepen that integration and unlock new investment streams for resilience.
