This book explores the possibilities and scope of facilitating Bangladesh’s battle against climate change with regard to relevant international legal instruments, as well as national laws and policies. The Post-Paris global climate regime considers adaptation, mitigation, climate finance, technology transfer, capacity building, and compensation for losses and damage associated with climate change as essential tools for combating it. This book includes chapters on each of the above topics. Additionally, it covers integrating digital technologies in climate-smart agricultural practices, government land acquisition practices and their repercussions on changing land conditions, the legal landscape overseeing climate change and foreign direct investment, and the regulatory interplay between domestic trade and climate policies in Bangladesh.

The book comprehensively covers climate justice issues by addressing climate-induced migration, access to clean water, gender-responsive climate action, public interest environmental litigation, and, above all, the climate-change-development nexus in Bangladesh.

This book is intended for researchers, policymakers, university students, and practitioners in international environmental law and climate change law.
