At InfraBlocks, our mission is to support climate solutions that empower communities for a sustainable future. Our journey in Bangladesh has been one of collaboration, innovation, and unwavering dedication. In light of the recent events, our commitment to this vibrant nation remains steadfast in light of the reality of climate change.
Bangladesh, often referred to as the "Land of Rivers," is no stranger to navigating turbulent waters. The recent resignation of the former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and the subsequent appointment of Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus as the head of the interim government have undoubtedly created an atmosphere of change, while the road ahead remains uncertain. However, just as the mighty Ganges and Brahmaputra rivers carve new paths through the delta, so too does Bangladesh persist and adapt in the face of challenges.
Despite the political uncertainties, there is no doubt that climate change shall present an even more urgent challenge. This year alone, Cyclone Remal and devastating monsoon floods have affected nearly 13 million people, displacing 1.5 million and causing $130 million in crop losses (source: United Nations). These events underscore the critical need for immediate and sustained climate action.
InfraBlocks is unwavering in its commitment to Bangladesh. As a key player in carbon markets, we are actively supporting climate solutions that enhance climate resilience, promote sustainability, and support local communities. Our pipeline includes:
Improved Cookstoves: These stoves are designed to reduce indoor air pollution, improving health outcomes for households. By increasing energy efficiency, these stoves also contribute to carbon emission reductions.
Mangrove Restoration: By restoring mangroves along the coast, we aim to enhance natural barriers against storm surges and coastal erosion, protecting both lives and livelihoods. Mangroves are also critical carbon sinks, helping to sequester CO2.
Renewable Energy Projects: We are expanding access to clean energy, reducing dependence on fossil fuels and promoting sustainable development. These projects contribute to significant carbon savings and are crucial for sustainable growth.
Bangladesh’s history is rich with tales of resilience and determination. From the struggle for independence in 1971 to overcoming natural disasters year after year, the spirit of Bangladesh is indomitable. This spirit aligns perfectly with our vision for a sustainable future for Bangladesh that aligns with national and global climate goals. We call on all stakeholders, partners, and the global community to join us in supporting climate resilience initiatives. Your engagement and support are crucial in driving the change we need.
InfraBlocks is dedicated to ensuring that Bangladesh can thrive in the face of climate challenges. Together, we can build a sustainable and resilient future for all.
