Our work

Climate change and Bangladesh have been increasingly associated in recent years. In a country more vulnerable to climate change than virtually any other country in the world, we help to build community resilience to floods and cyclones. Our partners alone helped move over 100,000 people to safety before Cyclone Sidr struck in 2007. We also promote women’s empowerment by supporting programmes that improve women's leadership skills and involvement in decision making.
