The Government of Bangladesh approved the Bangladesh Climate Development Partnership (BCDP) in May 2024 to drive climate actions at scale and with urgency. The BCDP is a country-led climate platform established to optimize the implementation of climate actions and is recognized by the global community as an important modality for delivering climate actions on a large scale. An ADB-funded project – Operationalizing the Bangladesh Climate Development Partnership – involving USD 1 million was launched on 26 January 2025 to operationalize the BCDP as a cross-sector, multiyear climate action partnership aimed at mobilizing climate finance, accelerating policy reforms, enhancing capacity for innovative climate projects, and facilitating knowledge sharing.
