High population density, poverty, and reliance on climate-sensitive sectors for water and food security, particularly water resources, agriculture, fisheries and livestock, exacerbate its vulnerability and exposure to natural hazards. Climate change projected to alter precipitation patterns with likely unprecedented extremes, increased average temperature and extreme heat events, and contribute to sea-level rise. a Climate Risk Index: The annual Climate Risk Index analyzes to what extent countries have been affected by the impacts of weather-related loss events (storms, floods, heat waves, etc.). https://www.germanwatch.org/en/cri.b The ND-GAIN Country Index summarizes a country’s vulnerability to climate change and other global challenges in combination with its readiness to improve resilience, with higher rankings signifying greater vulnerabilities (i.e., 192 is the most vulnerable and 1 least vulnerable). A total of 192 countries are ranked from low vulnerability and high readiness to high vulnerability and low readiness. https://gain.nd.edu/our-work/country-index/ (accessed 16 July 2025).CURRENT POLICY CONTEXTThe Government of Bangladesh has identified developing skills, knowledge, and human capital as one of its core strategies for building resilience and tackling climate change.
