Facilitating risk management instruments for the coastal climate vulnerable communities.
The project aims to develop climate-resilient fishermen communities to reduce loss and
damage induced by ocean risk along the coastal belt of Bangladesh through
a. Restoration and conservation of coastal nature-based infrastructures,
b. Introduction of risk recovery insurance for the fishermen’s communities and
c. Developing early warning and climate advisories targeting fishermen
communities.
