Building risk management tools for climate vulnerable communities, Bangladesh.

Building risk management tools for climate vulnerable communities, Bangladesh.

 
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.
 
Project activities
  • Selection of nature-based (blue-green) infrastructure to conserve and restore coastal ecosystem functions, such as Seaweed, Seagrass, and sand-dune vegetation (NyphaFruticans, Mangrove apple).
  • Climate Risk Insurance (RiSurance) to provide risk recovery support during the leanperiod and also the cyclonic period to refrain fishermen from fishing in sea and river.
  • The establishment of the Fishing Resilient Information Center (FRIC)
  • Developing a mobile-friendly app (InfoClim) and dissemination of climate advisories and disaster early warnings to the fishing communities rescue to sea-going fishermen to rescue themselves before cyclones and storm surges.
