Project WE

Project WE joined the Youth Consultancy Program held on 25th January 2024 at “Moner Bondhu” that aimed to engage young leaders in meaningful discussions, idea generations and collaborations.

In the program, they shared their outlook, opinions and suggestions regarding youth activities, mental health issues, climate activities etc. Learnings from the discussion that included young leaders representing diversified backgrounds will strengthen the commitment towards our goal of creating a better world.

For Project WE, 2023 has been an incredible year of bringing meaningful changes through impactful activities and initiatives.

In 2023, Project WE participated in many initiatives promoting environmental sustainability as well as launched numerous campaigns and initiatives successfully. More than 500 volunteers from all across the country dedicatedly worked to make the journey more impactful. The journey involved not only spreading awareness but also actively engaging in activities that make a difference.

Four years of hard work, dedication, and unity. Project WE has been a journey of growth, impact, and shared dreams. Here's to the past and the future, as we continue to make a difference together.

The Sundarbans, World's largest mangrove forest, is a vital ecosystem that protects Bangladesh from storm surges and provides a livelihood for millions of people. However, climate change is posing a serious threat to the Sundarbans. Rising sea levels, more intense storms, and changes in salinity are all damaging the mangrove forest and the communities that depend on it.
In recent years, the Sundarbans has experienced more frequent and severe cyclones, which have caused widespread devastation. Rising sea levels are also inundating coastal areas and salinizing freshwater sources, making it difficult for people and wildlife to survive.

The Sundarbans is also home to a rich diversity of wildlife, including the endangered Bengal tiger. As the forest habitat degrades, these animals are increasingly coming into conflict with humans, leading to injuries and deaths on both sides.
To protect the Sundarbans, we must take urgent action to address climate change. We need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, invest in adaptation measures, and help communities to adapt to the changing climate. Together, we can protect the Sundarbans and its people.

As sea levels rise, storm surges become more severe, and coastal erosion worsens, coastal communities are increasingly vulnerable to flooding, displacement, and other devastating effects of climate change.
These impacts are often felt most acutely by the poorest and most marginalized members of coastal communities, who may lack the resources to adapt to the changing landscape.

In addition to the physical and economic impacts, climate change can also have a profound impact on the cultural and social fabric of coastal communities. As people are forced to leave their homes and livelihoods behind, they may also lose their sense of place and community identity.
The impacts of climate change on coastal communities are a global problem, and they require a global solution. We need to take urgent action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and build resilience in coastal communities.

We must also ensure that coastal communities have a voice in the decision-making process, and that their needs are met in climate change adaptation and mitigation efforts.

Climate subsidies, which might include financing for renewable energy initiatives, energy-efficient programs, or carbon reduction measures, are frequently allocated based on economic and demographic criteria. As a result, urban regions with higher economic activity and population tend to receive a bigger proportion of these subsidies. Rural areas, on the other hand, confront particular difficulties in dealing with climate change. They might have less access to renewable energy infrastructure, pay more for energy, and have less money to invest in sustainability projects. Equity issues may arise from the unequal allocation of climate subsidies. It might make rural populations less well-served and less able to make the transition to cleaner, more sustainable practices, widening the gap between urban and rural areas.

The ideal goal of climate policies should be inclusion, taking into account the special circumstances of both urban and rural locations. This could entail supplying resources for sustainable agriculture, ensuring that rural populations have access to renewable energy technologies, and enhancing public transit.

A large amount of the money allocated to combating climate change goes disproportionately to wealthy people or countries. Global wealth distribution is incredibly unequal. Most of the world's wealth is typically under the control of the richest 20% of people. Therefore, any national or per capita subsidies may seem to be biased in favor of this group.

The ideal climate policy would take into account both equality issues and environmental goals. Policymakers may need to reconsider their approaches to make sure that the most vulnerable people also receive help if subsidies largely benefit the wealthy.

Blue Carbon Initivates and Waterway Cleanup Projects are powerful tool to fight against climate change.These projects help to restore and protect coastal ecosystems, which are some of the most effective natural carbon sinks on the planet. Coastal ecosystems, such as mangroves, seagrass meadows, and salt marshes, can store vast amounts of carbon dioxide, helping to mitigate the effects of climate change.

In addition, waterway cleanup projects can help to reduce pollution and improve water quality, which can also help to mitigate the effects of climate change.

By restoring and protecting our coastal ecosystems and waterways, we can help to fight against climate change and build a more sustainable future.

Palm trees are the silent guardians against lightning strikes.These towering trees are often the tallest objects in their surroundings, making them a natural target for lightning. However, their fibrous trunks and spongy leaves help to disperse the electrical current, reducing the risk of damage or injury. In addition, the roots of palm trees can help to stabilize the soil, making it less likely to erode during heavy rains or flooding.
So next time you see a palm tree, take a moment to appreciate its hidden benefits. These trees may just be the difference between life and death during a lightning storm.

Did you know? The government of Bangladesh has planned on encountering the challenges of climate change by conforming to various necessary measures. As a part of that, the National Energy Policy is inclined to reducing dependency on fossil fuels.

To lessen reliance on fossil fuels, the nation's Renewable Energy Policy promotes the development and use of renewable energy sources. By 2020 and 2030, the initiative seeks to generate 10% of all electricity from renewable sources, respectively.

The organization in charge of creating and putting into effect the renewable energy strategy is called The Bangladesh Renewable Energy Development Authority (BREDA).The programme that offers financial support to renewable energy projects is called "The Renewable Energy Subsidy Programme."

Businesses can use renewable energy to offset their electricity use thanks to the Renewable Energy Certificate (REC) Programme.Bangladesh is producing renewable energy at a significant rate. Over 1,000 megawatts of renewable energy capacity have already been installed in the nation, and more capacity is anticipated in the upcoming years.

For Bangladesh, the growth of renewable energy is advantageous. It can aid in lowering the nation's reliance on fossil fuels, reducing the effects of climate change, enhancing energy security, and fostering economic growth.
