Zero Hunger - Zero Emissions:  Restricted Funding: R07466 Oxfam will partner with the International Centre for Climate Change and Development (ICCCAD)  in Bangladesh on a project to democratise decision -making around "zero -zero"  - piloting methods to investigate how citizens can be involved and their voices heard in national debates on how to achieve zero hunger goals and concurrently move to zero net greenhouse gas emissions.   Zero -zero is the goal that we  - the nations of the world  - have to concurrently achieve zero net Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions and zero hunger  - both together within pretty much the same time frame  - and therefore how do we make that happen with maximum synergy and minimal trade -offs (a process which demands citizen participation).  The zero emissions goal is what agreed climate change targets necessitates, especially now that nations at Paris agreed to work to limit warming to 1.5 degrees C  - a more ambitious target than the already ambitious 2 degrees. Two degrees was held to be the likely level of "dangerous" climate change; observations of actual changes, and impacts, have since prompted this greater level of ambition. To get to 1.5 requires no net emissions ASAP (estimates vary but basically within the next decade (though some estimates say we have 12 months)). That requires, obviously, massive decarbonisation and consequent reorientation of societies globally....let's assume that even if there is much faster progress that won't happen so the other strategy increasingly being considered likely to be needed is to pull back the carbon "overshoot" via "Negative Emissions Technologies"  - sucking carbon out and somehow storing it. An example of such a Negative Emissions Technologies (NET) would be (BECCS), Bio -Energy with Carbon Capture + Storage  - basically plant crops, harvest and burn them for biofuel/heating/electricity to replace oil, gas, coal, and sequester the emissions. The snag is that that would require huge areas of (relatively fertile) land...  Which is a good example of the possible

Influencing Program for Bangladesh 2018 -2019 Over the last ten years Bangladesh has made impressive gains in key human development indicators. Despite progress, however, many challenges remain. More than 63 million people still live below the poverty line, highly vulnerable to the constant threat of natural and man -made disaster and shocks, climate uncertainty and economic shocks and market volatility. Women constitute most of the poor in Bangladesh, and in many cases worsening political and social barriers to women's development. National legislation protecting the rights of women is weak and poorly implemented both in urban & rural areas. Some constitutional provisions relating are discriminatory towards women. Bangladesh is the most vulnerable country in the world to the risks posed by climate change. Prone to natural disasters due to its geographical location, millions of people are affected by category three disasters on a routine basis  - ‘normal' disasters. Bangladesh, however, faces catastrophic risk from changing climatic patterns that are increasing the intensity and frequency of floods, cyclones and drought and undermining people's ability to cope. In addition to these rapid onset disasters, slow onset climatic change is also threatening livelihoods and agricultural practices of millions of people through shifting rainfall patterns, temperature changes, rising sea levels and increasing salinity in ground water. Changing weather patterns are impacting upon food production, poverty, food security, migration and social stability. Climate change and variability exacerbates existing inequalities, with the poor and marginalized dis -proportionally impacted by shocks and stresses. There is urgent need for the poor to expand and diversify their livelihood options and make them more resilient to climate, economic and technological change. Despite the importance of agriculture to the national economy (65% of total employment and 20% of GDP), investments in agriculture and the national agriculture policy do not
