The document discusses climate change policy at both the international and national (Bangladesh) levels. At the international level, it outlines several key agreements and protocols aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions, including the UNFCCC, Kyoto Protocol, Paris Agreement, and others. The Kyoto Protocol set binding emissions reduction targets for developed countries. The Paris Agreement's goal is to limit global warming to 1.5-2 degrees Celsius. At the national level, the document outlines Bangladesh's climate change policies, strategies and funds aimed at adaptation and building resilience.

7. Climate Change Policy
•The human enhancement of global warming leading
to climate change is seen as a worldwide problem.
•Policy responses have been led by international
negotiation, but have been qualified at the national
level, and so far largely ineffective, despite strong
international agreement on the matter.
•The principal focus is on reducing carbon dioxide
emissions.

9. United Nations Framework Convention on Climate
Change (UNFCCC)
• The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate
Change (UNFCCC) is an international environmental treaty
negotiated at the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro from 3 to 14
June 1992, then entered into force on 21 March 1994. The
UNFCCC objective is to "stabilize greenhouse gas
concentrations in the atmosphere at a level that would
prevent dangerous anthropogenic interference with
the climate system". The framework set no binding limits on
greenhouse gas emissions for individual countries and
contains no enforcement mechanisms.

10. Kyoto Protocol
 A global agreement that sets targets for reducing greenhouse
gas emission .
 An United Nation-led international agreement reached in
1997 in Kyoto, Japan under UNFCCC
 Put to force on february 2005
 To adress the problems of climate change and the reduction
of green house gas emission.

11. Kyoto Protocol Aims:
 Industrialized countries to cut emissions
to 5.2% below 1990 levels by 2008-2012.
 The emissions covered not only CO2, but
also methane, nitrous oxide,
hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons
and sulfur hexafluoride.
 Had varying targets ,EU by 8% AND
Japan5%.
 Countries like Iceland are allowed to
increase emission.
 Developing countries (non-
Annex1)including China and India were
asked to set voluntary targets for GHG
emission.
• Share of CO2
Emission in 1990

12. Paris Agreement
• After a decade of negotiations, research and advocacy, the Paris
Agreement represents a turning point in our collective effort to tackle
climate change. In 2011 efforts to hold global warming to below 2 or
1.5 °C relative to the pre-industrial level.
• In 2015, all (then) 196 then parties to the convention came together for
the UN Climate Change Conference in Paris 30 November - 12 December
and adopted by consensus the Paris Agreement, aimed at limiting global
warming to less than two degrees Celsius, and pursue efforts to limit the
rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius. The Paris Agreement is to be signed in 2016
and will enter into force upon ratification by 55 countries representing
over 55% of greenhouse gas emissions.

14. Other Decisions
• Bali Action Plan: As part of the Bali Action Plan,
adopted in 2007, all developed country Parties have
agreed to "quantified emission limitation and
reduction objectives, while ensuring the comparability
of efforts among them, taking into account differences
in their national circumstances."
• Copenhagen Accord and Cancún agreements:As part
of the 2009 Copenhagen negotiations, a number of
countries produced the Copenhagen Accord. The
Accord states that global warming should be limited to
below 2.0 °C (3.6 °F).

15. Climate Change Policy –Bangladesh
At a global level. Bangladesh has played a significant role in the
global climate community since 1998 in furthering the Climate
Change agenda for the most vulnerable and least developing
countries (LDC). At the Bali Conference in December 2007,
Bangladesh emphasized targeting food security, water, energy,
and livelihoods for LDCs.
At a country level. Bangladesh has already adopted various
policies to address climate change and invested heavily in
adaptation measures.
Bangladesh intends to scale up its effort to become resilient to
climate change. The strategy entails six pillars:
 Pillar 1: Food security, social protection and health.
 Pillar 2: Comprehensive disaster management.
 Pillar 3: Building resilient infrastructure.
 Pillar 4: Increasing the knowledge base.
 Pillar 5: Mitigation and low carbon development.
 Pillar 6: Capacity building and institutional strengthening
