Bangladesh is one of the most vulnerable countries to climate change because of its disadvantageous geographic location; flat and low-lying topography; high population density; high levels of poverty; reliance of many livelihoods on climate sensitive sectors, particularly agriculture and fisheries; and inefficient institutional aspects.
Bangladesh is one of the most vulnerable countries to climate change because of its disadvantageous geographic location; flat and low-lying topography; high population density; high levels of poverty; reliance of many livelihoods on climate sensitive sectors, particularly agriculture and fisheries; and inefficient institutional aspects.
Many of the anticipated adverse affects of climate change, will aggravate the existing stresses that already impede development in Bangladesh, particularly by reducing water and food security and damaging essential infrastructure.

As a steppingstone on the path from Bali to Copenhagen, the Poznań conference will mark the turning point from analysis and discussion to negotiation stage.
As a steppingstone on the path from Bali to Copenhagen, the Poznań conference will mark the turning point from analysis and discussion to negotiation stage.
Ahead of the Poznań Conference there are four key issues or ‘hot topics’: i) sectoral approaches; ii) Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) and Land Use, Land Use Change and Forestry (LULUCF); iii) Reducing Emissions from Deforestation in Developing Countries (REDD); and iv) financing and development.

Other key issues are the participation of the US in an international climate change agreement; whether or not emerging economies should take up binding emission reduction commitments; and how to accommodate diversity among developing countries not only in terms of economic capability, natural resource endowments, and vulnerability to impacts of climate change but also in terms of topics of their priority.

The Copenhagen agreement should form a ‘shared vision’ with a level of ambition and send a strong signal from joint leadership of all major economies to the market, business, scientists, and citizens.

The report provides an overview of carbon finance initiatives and proposals; analyses carbon finance initiatives/proposals targeting forest issues from the perspectives of climate change mitigation, biodiversity and other environmental issues, and development; and offers recommendations on steps forward to promote a pro-poor forest agenda for UNFCCC negotiations, the spending of revenues from EU-based green house gas emission mitigation efforts, and other pertinent processes.
