Masterclass on climate resilient infrastructure
Bangladesh, one of the most climate-vulnerable countries, faces major challenges in protecting its infrastructure. Despite national plans, limited technical and institutional capacity hampers resilience efforts. This masterclass focuses on building climate-resilient infrastructure through Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs), covering climate science, risk management, Nature-Based Solutions, policy, finance, and technology to enable sustainable project development.
