Project description: The study focuses on integrating agrifood systems into climate and development policies ahead of COP30 in Brazil (2025). Furthermore, the study aims to provide model-based analysis to support Bangladesh’s government in areas such as low-carbon agricultural technologies, sustainable energy transition, and transport sector mitigation strategies. It will also assess the macroeconomic impact of climate policies, financing options for low-carbon development, and socioeconomic risks of transition. Key activities include workshops with policymakers, sectoral diagnostics, economy-wide modeling, and a final report to be completed by December 2025.
