∎ Background of the project
∎ Bangladesh is considered as one of the most vulnerable countries due to climate change. While significant progress has been made over recent decades in formulating over 38 climate adaptation and mitigation policies and enacting environmental laws, there remains a lack of strong coordination among relevant ministries, departments, and stakeholders. This has affected the effectiveness of implementation and monitoring frameworks.
∎ Climate governance is intricately linked to national development and the well-being of both ecosystem and people. Effective governance requires participatory processes that uphold people's rights and prioritize regulatory frameworks for their protection. Bangladesh's Climate Action Plan 2021 (CAP21) outlines ambitious targets, aiming for a 51% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 and achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. Additionally, the MCPP represents Bangladesh's ambitious initiative to transition from vulnerability to resilience and prosperity. However, despite robust policy frameworks, effective execution of these plans and policies remains a challenge.
∎ Effective climate governance requires robust transparency, inclusive citizen engagement, and strong accountability mechanisms. WAVE Foundation undertakes a multi-pronged approach to strengthen climate governance through the enhancement of civil society participation, community awareness, capacity development of the Disaster Management Committee (DMC) of Local Government, promoting the role of media, and strengthening coordination among different stakeholders.
∎ WAVE Foundation is a civil society organization established in 1990, has been implementing multifaceted activities for the socio economic development of the poor and marginalized as well as the establishment of universal human rights and good governance. Besides, the organization is conducting issue based policy advocacy and campaigns. WAVE is driven by its motto 'Together for Better Life’ towards the vision of establishing 'A just and Prosperous society’. WAVE has organized its activities into 6 programs: 1) Poverty Eradication and Livelihood Development 2) Community Financing and Entrepreneurship Development 3) Agri-Food System Transformation 4) Governance, Rights and Justice 5) Social Development and Youth Empowerment 6) Climate Justice and Renewable Energy Promotion.
