Climate change is a leading threat to sustainable socio-economic development in Bangladesh. Adverse impacts of climatic disasters including flash floods, recurrent cyclones and erratic rainfall patterns are already causing hardship for both rural and urban people and are expected to accelerate into the future. The aim of this research note is to identify the core contributing economic sectors to climate change in Bangladesh, and to consider effective mitigation strategies. Following the 5th Assessment Report (AR5) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report (2014), in this paper, we argue that comprehensive mitigation measures are required in the energy, transport, buildings, industry and land-use sectors to reduce Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions. Our findings indicate that it is crucial that government and non-government mitigation efforts engage with community knowledge practices in order to most effectively reduce GHG emissions and combat the adverse impacts of climate change.

孟加拉国的气候变化减缓和适应：需要以社区为基础的方法

气候变化是孟加拉国可持续社会经济发展的主要威胁。包括山洪暴发、周期性飓风和不稳定降雨模式在内的气候灾害的不利影响已经给农村和城市人民造成了困难，预计未来还会加速。本研究报告的目的是确定孟加拉国气候变化的核心经济部门，并考虑有效的减缓战略。根据政府间气候变化专门委员会 (IPCC) 报告（2014 年）的第 5 次评估报告（AR5），在本文中，我们认为需要在能源、交通、建筑、工业和土地利用部门采取综合缓解措施，以减少温室气体 (GHG) 排放。
