Narayanganj stands as one of Bangladesh’s most industrial and densely populated urban centres, where climate change is already intensifying the twin threats of waterlogging and urban heat stress. In these informal settlements, low-income communities are often the first and hardest hit, yet they are now becoming the primary drivers of change through the People’s Adaptation Plan (PAP). Developed by Practical Action in Bangladesh in partnership with the Global Center on Adaptation and funded by Global Affairs Canada, this roadmap ensures that marginalized voices are at the heart of the city’s resilience planning. This initiative demonstrates that when residents are engaged as active agents rather than passive recipients, the result is urban governance that is more equitable and lasting Learn more about this plan on the video and let us know in the comments how you think cities can better adopt Locally Led Adaptation (LLA) to protect their most vulnerable citizens!
