Bangladesh ranks seventh on the list of countries most vulnerable in the world to climate change-induced natural disasters. It has been estimated by the IPCC's reports and analysis that a one meter sea level rise in the south of the country, could mean that Bangladesh will lose up to 20% of its current landmass. According to the Bangladeshi Government’s National Strategy Paper, it is estimated that Bangladesh will produce 25 million climate refugees when they lose this land to the sea.

The Hunger Project Bangladesh's SDG Union Strategy calls for a partnership between: (1) the people, (2) their elected representatives at the local level, (3) a civil society created from the ground up, and (4) the government functionaries responsible for delivering services to grassroots communities. They aim to achieve the SDGs and build localised community knowledge on climate vulnerabilities and opportunities. We want to provide further training and support to these established Unions.
