The climate fund will provide funding for the construction of new cyclone shelters and roads, as well as the renovation of old shelters in the coastal area. During the first meeting of the Bangladesh Climate Change Resilience Fund's (BCCRF) governing council, a Tk 1.87 billion project was approved for nine coastal districts. State Minister for Environment, Hassan Mahmud, stated that the initial plan includes building 50 cyclone shelters and renovating 40 old ones, as well as constructing around 50 km of roads in the coastal districts. Efforts will be made to reach out to donor countries and agencies for funding. Mahmud mentioned that Bangladesh had been pledged $147 million for the project, with the UK promising $10 million and Australia pledging $16 million. He also stated that two other projects, including the construction of a cross dam to reclaim land from the sea and coastal forestation, were discussed during the meeting.
