Investor Presentaiton

Cost-Benefit Comparison Potential cumulative damage from intense rainfall events between 2014 and 2050 even without climate change is Tk 110 billion. Potential cumulative damage from intense rainfall events between 2014 and 2050 with climate change is Tk 139 billion. With recommended Tk 2.7 billion investment made to mitigate the historic September 2004 waterlogging in current climate: ■ Potential cumulative damage will reduce to Tk 37 billion without climate change. ■ Potential cumulative damage will reduce to Tk 49 billion with climate change. ▪ This estimate of potential savings in damage is conservative. Message to Policy Makers Invest to address historic waterlogging in the current climate - the city is already facing the risk even without climate change. Benefits of these recommended investments to mitigate waterlogging in current climate exist even in the absence of climate change, making such investments an attractive low-regret option. Develop additional measures to mitigate climate risks sequentially after addressing the current climate risks. Climate and disaster resilience is not uniform in all parts of megacity Dhaka. There is room to improve local disaster resilience. Facilitate area- specific action planning for strengthening the local climate disaster resilience. 08/12/2016 18
