Addressing the Rights and Needs of Climate-forced Displaced People

Building on previous grants, CJRF has provided YPSA with a two-year, $250,000 grant to support climate-forced displaced people from two coastal upazilas (sub-districts) in south-eastern Bangladesh, Banskhali  (Chattogram district) and Kutubdia Island (Cox’s Bazaar district).

This project focuses on providing for the immediate basic needs of climate-forced displaced people in a safe location, as well as building the capacity of climate-forced displaced people, especially youth, to advocate for the security of their rights and livelihoods. Through these efforts, the project focuses on increasing the income of women and women-headed families through alternative livelihoods and by providing them with safe shelter. As part of this project, YPSA also advocates for rights-based solutions for climate-forced displacement.
