01. Why the Program is?

• Sundarbans serves as a barrier against cyclones and storms, thus preserving them can significantly reduce flood risks and protect densely populated areas.
• Sundarbans act as a carbon sink, playing an important role in reducing global warming. Protecting and enhancing these natural carbon sinks is essential to mitigate climate change impacts.
• Increasing salinity intrusion is causing ponds to dry up and contaminating groundwater. This is leading to a drinking water crisis, which is worsened by climate change-induced disasters.
• The local population is heavily reliant on the Sundarbans’ resources for fishing, agriculture, and tourism. Degradation of this environment threatens their livelihoods to severe extent.
• The region has suffered degradation due to unsustainable practices and frequent cyclones and floods.
• The region is experiencing the detrimental impacts of climate change such as rising sea levels, saline water intrusion, and cyclonic storms.

03. What is the Objective?

• To enhance the resilience of the Sundarbans as a natural barrier against cyclones and storms to protect local communities and habitats.
• To develop and implement strategies to mitigate the impacts of saline intrusion, preserve freshwater sources, and ensure sustainable access to safe drinking water.
• To establish sustainable practices in fishing, agriculture, and tourism sectors to maintain income sources for local communities without degrading the environment.
• To undertake initiatives for mangrove restoration and the development of resilient infrastructure to adapt to climate change impacts and prevent further environmental degradation.
• To implement strategies to protect and enhance the carbon sequestration capacity of the Sundarbans to contribute to global climatechange mitigation efforts.
• To develop comprehensive programs to build community resilience and adaptive capacities to cope with the impacts of climate change
• To conduct educational programs and awareness campaigns for local communities on the importance of environmental protection and sustainable livelihood practices.
