Why is it important?
The proposed model would reduce poverty, hunger and enhance economic, social and environmental growth and development in poor countries like Bangladesh in a most sustainable way.
Perspectives
The proposed model has the following attributes: • can be applied in other poor Asian and African countries • would reduce threat on food production (agriculture, aquaculture, fisheries) • would reduce threat on livelihoods • would reduce threat from disasters (reduce impacts of cyclones/storms/sea-level rise related disasters on property, lives, crops, vegetables, farmed fish/shrimps, poultry and livestock) • will create employment opportunities via low-carbon development (e.g. climate smart agriculture, climate smart aquaculture, renewable energy and carbon sink projects) • create opportunities to cut climate change risks in poor developing countries • has relevance with the newly globally agreed Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) : SDG 1, SDG 2, SDG 3, SDG 4, SDG 5, SDG 11, SDG 12, SDG 13, SDG 14
