The Bangladesh Climate Resilient Infrastructure Investment Roadmap – Technical Report presents a strategic framework to strengthen the resilience of Bangladesh’s infrastructure systems against escalating climate risks, including flooding, cyclones, sea-level rise, and extreme weather events. Developed through a collaboration between the Government of Bangladesh and the Global Center on Adaptation (GCA), the report builds on the findings of the national Climate Resilient Infrastructure Stress Test assessment.

The Global Center on Adaptation (GCA), in partnership with the International Coalition on Sustainable Infrastructure (ICSI) and in consultation with local experts and institutions, is pleased to release Gender-Responsive and Socially Inclusive Climate-resilient Infrastructure: A Practitioner’s User Guide on Incorporating Gender (available in English and Bangla), alongside a companion Case Study Booklet and appendices with detailed applications for the transport and energy sectors.

This report presents healthcare as a complex system of systems—a network of interdependent components including water, energy, waste, digital and transport services, all susceptible to climate-related hazards. This interconnectedness makes health infrastructure especially vulnerable to climate change, as disruptions in one area can trigger cascading effects across the entire system. By mapping these interdependencies, this report identifies targeted adaptation strategies to prevent such chain reactions and ensure the continuous delivery of healthcare services.

The Madagascar: Adaptation Investment Pipeline and Financing  Instruments report presents a forward-looking Adaptation Investment Pipeline for the country, identifying priority investments required to safeguard economic stability and protect vulnerable populations. It highlights transport as the backbone of the economy, highly exposed urban systems concentrated in a small number of cities, and critical needs in agriculture, water, energy, health, and the blue economy. Building on Madagascar’s strong policy foundations (NAP, NDC, PANEDD), the analysis translates climate risk into a structured investment agenda focused on integrating resilience into development planning, scaling climate-resilient infrastructure, and strengthening governance and preparedness systems. The report provides an evidence-based roadmap for mobilizing adaptation finance at scale and aligning investments with the country’s long-term development trajectory.

The Climate Hazard Assessment for The Gambia Technical Report provides an evidence-based overview of current and future climate hazards affecting critical infrastructure, with a focus on the transport sector. The analysis highlights that flooding, rising extreme temperatures, and increasing drought risk are the most significant threats to mobility, connectivity, and water availability.

The Water Resources Climate Risk Assessment for The Gambia Technical Report analyses current and future pressures on freshwater availability and quality, identifying priority climate risks and adaptation options for the sector. The assessment shows that saltwater intrusion, groundwater depletion, and rising demand driven by population and industrial growth are key challenges, particularly in the Greater Banjul Area and along the Gambia River.

The Climate Risk Assessment for the Transport Sector in The Gambia Technical Report evaluates how current and future climate hazards affect the national transport network and identifies priority adaptation responses. The assessment shows that flooding and rising extreme temperatures pose the most significant risks, with a large share of road infrastructure already exposed to shallow flood events that can disrupt access to markets, schools, and health services.

The Adaptation and Resilience Options for the Inland Water Transport Sector country brief explores opportunities to unlock the potential of the Gambia River as a resilient transport corridor. It assesses climate risks to riverine infrastructure and navigation conditions, and proposes strategies to improve multimodal connectivity, strengthen port resilience, and support adaptive planning for future inland transport development.

The Adaptation and Resilience Options for the Water Sector country brief examines growing pressures on water resources driven by climate variability, salinization, and rising demand. It identifies priority investments in climate-smart agriculture, groundwater governance, monitoring systems, and green-blue infrastructure to enhance water security while delivering economic and ecosystem co-benefits.
