Second National Learning Group Meeting in Dhaka, Bangladesh

Dear participants,

The second National Learning Group meeting was held in Dhaka in the 9th of March, and we would like to share information with you about the discussion that was had and the future actions that were planned. We hope that these plans might inspire you to work with one another to formulate similar plans in your cities.

During this meeting, the participants focused on the issues of:

- Vulnerability and risk mapping
- Urban planning

The participants had a very fruitful discussion and decided to work together to re-assess the vulnerability of one coastal urban area and provide recommendations for the city plan. The participants also agreed that it would be valuable to involve more stakeholders in further discussion on Climate Resilient Cities, particularly involving the media in their efforts.

We would like to share a summary of that meeting with you, and invite you to share any comments, questions or suggestions. Many of the members of that National Learning Group meeting are also members of the online discussion space, so we would like to encourage you to use this space for dialogue.

The next meeting will be held on the 6th of April. 
All the best,
Charlotte and the ELLA Team
