Why we are crying with this issue?
- Bangladesh is one of the most vulnerable countries due to multidimensional
impact of climate change;
>
Increasing sea level rise could be inundated at least 17% of our land
> Intrusion of Salinity (being observed as increasing trend according to
the research of BIDS recently)
> At least 30-40 million people would be displaced affecting with
different negative incident of climate change
> Extreme weather events would be increase and those will be cause of
massive damage of life asset
>
Production of crops might be hampered 10-30% in future

Why the climate integrated budget is essential
- Given highest priority in the strategic plans;
-
Vision 2021 and SFYP
> Growth 8% by 2013
> Food Self Sufficiency by 2012 and Food Security by 2021
> 100% enrollment in education by 2010 and literacy by 2014
> 100% water and sanitation by 2014
- Global food politics (Experience SIDR)
- Climate change displacement & management as future concern
- Institutional capacity increase
National Budget 2012-13 “Is prepared with climate change integrated”
Align with global efforts combating climate change impact
-
In Cancun at COP-16 an Adaptation Framework was adopted in
order to secure an institutional and financial support for
vulnerable countries.
- The climate summit in Durban (COP-17) agreed to make
substantial steps in order to further put into action the initiated
processes globally and to scale-up adaptation activities in
respective countries.

Part III- Supporting the transition
to a global green economy- describes
three means to the stated ends:
Modeling, Enabling Conditions,
and Finance

Is the national budget reflected as climate adaptive?
- The national budget 2012-13 doesn’t reflect any mechanism on how
the climate change adaptation would be integrated with different ministries
and development plan and activities.
- Despite giving of heights strategic priority, the ministries and their national
budget merely shown any integrated plan of action through budgetary
allocation
National Budget 2012-13 “Is prepared with climate change integrated”
Who are the responsible for saving the country?
- Is the MOEF solely responsible combating climate change
effect?
- Government has prepared the BCCSAP-2009 which is working
as “stand alone”, because of following the project-base
financing strategy.

- Major observation
>
No policy priority in financing according to the thematic
development strategy
>
A major portion of finance is going to the mitigation (21%)
where our priority is adaptation.
>
Some project seen contradictory with thematic area of BCCSAP
>
Is there are people participation, is there any space of people
oriented monitoring in local level
- To be set policy priority where the funding will be made from BCCSAP
National Budget 2012-13 “Is prepared with climate change integrated”
Mass Orientation on BCCSAP or People alternatives combating
climate change impact
Steps and methodologies are followed;
-
Translated the BCCSAP into bangla
- Orientation to the divisional organizers on objective and
methodology of the workshop
-
Copies sent to the stakeholders at division level
- Six divisional workshop are held where different level of
stakeholder participated and provided their opinion
- 24 FGDs (four FGD in each division) held at climate hot spots
with vulnerable people. Total Participants in FGDs were 389.

Agriculture and govt. budgetary measures (Sample observation)
- Problem to be faced in future
> Food self-sufficiency and Food Security
> Production loss 10-30% due to changing climate
> Water and irrigation crisis severely
> Salinity and soil fertility mgt.
> Depleting indigenous verities of rice and other subsistence options for
our people

- But budget allocation is bleak and seen very inconsistence with government
Vision 2021 and even SFYP
>
Total allocation 8911 cr. (Non dev 7669 cr. and development budget
1242 cr.)
>
Only 20 project is taken (among 117) in ADP related climate change
>
Net budget allocation through ADP 300 cr. Where only adaptation
need at least 2100 cr. investment in agriculture sector this year (WB
study)
>
No investment allocation on research in this year.
National Budget 2012-13 “Is prepared with climate change integrated”
- Education and skill
>
Total project 83 in ADP
> Total 7215 cr. allocated but there found nothing in relation to
CC (institutional capacity building human resource and
knowledge and skill development) adaptation.
National Budget 2012-13 “Is prepared with climate change integrated”
We demand;
- All ministries will have to be internalize the climate change issues
very seriously and have to be integrated with their yearly
development plan and actions
- Capacity will have to be strengthening all of our concern
ministerial in terms of knowledge, planning and implementation
level.
- Budgetary allocation have to be made according the strategic plan
and in the line of actions
- Budget format should be changed so that it will be easily
understandable to all concern that how climate issues has been
integrated
National Budget 2012-13 “Is prepared with climate change integrated”
-
BCCSAP should be considered as a matter of integration in
national planning and budgeting, it should not be treated stand
alone document which implementation is only lying with MOFE.
- All ministry must prepare a document as a climate change
adaptation issue to be integrated and to be published for public
scrutiny.
-
Prime Minister herself should oversee the coordination and
integration of climate adaptation issues.
National Budget 2012-13 “Is prepared with climate change integrated”
- Climate adaptation is a local issue, so in relation decentralization of
administration, people participation in whole project cyclone (ie, project
preparation, monitoring, implementation and evaluation) should be a
matter.
- In this regard meaning full participation of local government is seems a
indispensable requirements. So, we propose there should be some
experimentation on Zila and Union level climate adaptation planning in this
regard. These will also help for an enhance level of local resource
mobilization.
