First National Learning Group Meeting in Dhaka, Bangladesh

Dear Participants,

As we explained in the introductory weeks, in addition to this online learning space, face-to-face meetings are being held in Dhaka, Bangladesh to discuss issues of urban climate resilience. These meeting are known as National Learning Group Meetings, and the first one was held on the 15th of February. We would very much like to share the outcome of that with you. Dr. Ahsan Uddin Ahmed, an expert in Bangladeshi climate change issues facilitated the meeting and is contactable via this site should you have any questions or suggestions. Attached below is a file summarising the content and outcome of the meeting.

Over the course of the Learning Alliance three topical meetings will be held, and during this launch participants decided upon the most important themes in their context. The following discussion topics were decided upon:

- City level climate change planning and governance & climate vulnerability and risk mapping
- Local adaptive capacity building & flood management
- Low carbon development strategies

The next meeting will be held on Saturday 9th of March.

If you would like to interact with this group, sharing any good practices from your regions or asking any questions to the participants. Please do use this space to do so.

All the best,
Charlotte and the ELLA Team
