Climate Change
Component of the Comprehensive Disaster Management Programme (CDMP) |
The programme
component aims to establish a mechanism that facilitates
management of long term climate risks and uncertainties as an
integral part of national development planning. A Climate Change
Cell in DoE will build government capacity for coordination and
leadership on climate change issues. The component will coordinate
awareness-raising, advocacy and mechanisms to promote climate
change adaptation and risk reduction in development activities, as
well as strengthening existing knowledge and information
accessibility on impacts and adaptation to climate change.
It will also work with partners to pilot a livelihood adaptation
strategy approach for drought-related climate risks. This will
develop a methodology to translate climate change impact data into
agricultural response options and livelihood adaptation practices.

Air
Quality Management Project |
The primary objective
of this project is to develop components of an air quality
management system to reduce human exposure to vehicular air
pollution in Dhaka . The key components are improved enforcement;
setting appropriate standards; piloting of pollution control
technologies for two-stroke three-wheelers and diesel vehicles;
better monitoring and dissemination of information; and overall
evaluation. these components will help lay a foundation for
strengthening institutional capacity for air quality management
and developing a comprehensive long- term strategy to reduce air
pollution in Dhaka and other cities. This will also help to
improve the institutional capacity for air pollution monitoring
and data analysis in Bangladesh. |

Implementation of a National Program for Recovery and Recycling of
Refrigerants |
The main objective of
the project is to implement a comprehensive national programme for
recovery and recycling of refrigerants in the refrigeration and
air-conditioning sectors. 30 metric tones of CFC-12 will be
recovered from Refrigerator Air conditioner and will be recycling
for reuse. |

Implementation of the Refrigerant Management Plan - Monitoring of
the Activities Included in the Refrigerant Management Plan (RMP) |
The main objective of
the project is to carry out the monitoring activities listed in
the Refrigerant Management Plan (RMP). The project will monitor
the activities indicated in the RMP and ensure that CFC-12 is
recovered and recycled according to the Recovery and Recycling
Project. After completion of the project it is expected that 11.6
ODP (Ozone Depleting Potential) Tones of CFC-12 will be phasing
out per year. |

Coastal and Wetland Biodiversity Management at Cox's Bazaar and
Hakaluki Haor |
The main objective of
the project is to establish and innovative system for management
of ECAs (Ecological Critical Areas) in Bangladesh that will have a
significant and positive impact on the long term viability of the
country's biodiversity resources. The project will support DOE to
operationalize the ECA concept at the two project site. One (which
includes 3 ECAs: Cox's Bazar- Teknaf sea beach. Sonadia island.
St. Martin islands) within the countries biodiversity rich and
long coastal zone and the second one Hakaluki Haor the largest and
most important of the country's many inland freshwater wetlands.
Through a combination of incremental cost financing and baseline
and co-financing conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity
of those sites will be demonstrated. The demonstration shall
create important opportunities for replication in coastal,
freshwater wetlands and other ecosystems through out the country
including additional sites recently declared nominated as ECAs. |

Institutional Strengthening for the Phase-out of Ozone Depleting
Substances (Phase-III). |
The main objective of
the project is to follow up the activities of the Ozone Cell as
constituted within the Department of Environment under Phase-I to
function as the focal point for coordination of all activities
related to the implementation of the phase out Action Plans
specified in the country Programme. |

Phase-II Implementation of Malé Declaration on Control and
Prevention of Air Pollution and its Likely Transboundary Effects
for South Asia. |
The overall objective
of this project is to implement the Phase II of the Malé
Declaration which will result in actual establishment of
additional monitoring stations and studies to understand and put
forth options to address the issue of transboundary air pollution.
The general objective of Phase II is to put in place the
expertise, equipment and information needed for the quantitative
monitoring, analysis and policy recommendations for the eventual
prevention/control of air pollution. Review of baseline studies
and national action plans shows the gaps in the existing
monitoring system, the phase II implementation will be a
gap-filling exercise. The following are specific objectives for
the Phase-II implementation :
(1) expanding the network
established during phase- I,
(2) establishing/strengthening monitoring facilities; and
(3) studying the transboundary effects of air pollution. |

Training Programme for Customs Officer. |
The main objective of
the project is to provide the customs officers and relevant
stakeholders with the skills necessary to monitor and control the
imports and exports of Ozone Depleting Substances (ODS), including
equipment containing ODS as well as detecting and preventing
illegal Trade of ODS. |

Training Programme on Good Practices in Refrigeration. |
The main objective of
the project is to reduce CFC emission and consumption in the
refrigeration sector by improving the servicing procedures of the
refrigeration and air-conditioning equipment. Under phase-I, a
group of selected local trainers and senior technicians will be
trained by an international consultant and under Phase-II,
technicians engaged in the refrigeration servicing sector will be
trained by local trainers already trained under phase-I of the
project. |

Bangladesh: Preparation of the POPs National Implementation Plan
under the Stockholm conventions |
The overall objective
of the project is to prepare the National Implementation Plan for
phase-out of the Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) and
development of POPs management options as an effective response
measures to achieve Stockholm Convention objectives. The objective
of the project is to create sustainable capacity and ownership in
Bangladesh to meet its obligations under the Stockholm convention,
including broader issues of chemicals safety and management for
reducing health hazards as articulated in Chapter 19 of Agenda 21.
The project will enable Bangladesh to ratify the Stockholm
Convention and become a Party to the same. |
