Building forward stronger by charting a decade of robust socio-economic
development that fully integrates climate resilience and low carbon
economic growth for optimized prosperity and partnerships.
Preamble
Hard-fought development gains and increased productivity will continue to be undermined or reversed if the 1.5°C limit of the Paris Agreement is breached. Episodic climate-induced disasters and losses are only one subset of the threats the Bangladeshi people and industry face. The other involves slow-onset effects such as drought, sea-level rise and ocean acidification which may inflict more lasting harm to Bangladesh’s economic aspirations.
The Mujib Climate Prosperity Plan counteracts climate-induced damages and losses by equipping vulnerable communities, industry and the government with the Mujib vision supported by optimized financing tools and models that will be key to embracing a new risk management paradigm that would bring about resilience and stability, especially for small businesses, vulnerable populations and the economy. The Mujib Climate Prosperity Plan leverages the financing of the Eighth Five Year Plan 2021-2025 of Bangladesh, Vision 2041 and Bangladesh Delta Plan 2100 with synergies with the Bangladesh Climate Change Strategy and Action Plan, National Adaptation Plan and Nationally Determined Contributions submitted in 2020, to unlock a pathway for a fast-tracked delivery of the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030 and GDP per capita growth commensurate to upper middle-income status.
The implementation of the Mujib Climate Prosperity Plan can smoothen Bangladesh’s graduation with new private funds from least developed country status anticipated in 2026. This would enable diversified capital sources, including the private sector, blended finance and enhanced economic cooperation, improved market access through competitive positioning globally, export competitiveness and diversification, as well as strengthened financial protection and resilience.
The Mujib Climate Prosperity Plan shifts Bangladesh’s trajectory from one of vulnerability to resilience to prosperity (VRP). This shift must happen in the decade to 2030, yet the Mujib Climate Prosperity Plan also positions Bangladesh strategically into the long-term, with this Plan including perspectives beyond 2040 to mid-century, as aligned with the Climate Vulnerable Forum Vision and the Paris Agreement.
“The CVF initiated a new Climate prosperity program to move from climate vulnerability to climate resilience and then turn climate resilience into climate prosperity. As the Prime Minister of Bangladesh, I am delighted to declare “Mujib Climate Prosperity Plan – Decade 2030” in honor of the birth centenary of the Father of the Nation.”
H.E. Sheikh HasinaHon’ble Prime Minister, People’s Republic of Bangladesh, CVF Chair
“Having successfully implemented the Bangladesh Climate Change Strategy and Action Plan, Bangladesh has now developed national decadal plan for 2030 ‘Mujib Climate Prosperity Plan’, named in remembrance of our Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman’s Birth Centenary. This plan attempts to help mobilize resources for the implementation of a new pathway to secure reduced climate impacts. V20 countries may follow Bangladesh to outline such country-led strategic investment strategies to achieve climate prosperity.”
H.E. AHM Mustafa Kamal MPHon’ble Minister of Finance, People’s Republic of Bangladesh, V20 Chair
“It is my pleasure to present the Mujib Climate Prosperity Plan in the planetary recovery and prosperity session of the V20 Ministerial Dialogue VII. You are aware that the CVF/V20 presidency of Bangladesh put forward the idea of developing prosperity plans, which would enable its member countries to attain prosperity by weathering climate vulnerability through resilience and green development. In line with the vision, Bangladesh has formulated the Mujib Climate Prosperity Plan, MCPP named after the Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, commemorating his birth centenary.”

“The MCPP recognizes the indomitable spirit of the Bengalis instilled in them by the Father of the Nation during the epic struggle for freedom. It is an ambitious agenda for action taken under the leadership of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, who is a strong proponent of climate actions vis-a-vis technical and financial support for adaptation, resilience, low-carbon pathways, and loss and damage.”

"As Ambition Ambassador, the ‘Climate Prosperity Plan’ is a top priority and thus it is important to form the nucleus of a high ambition coalition that also includes the biggest and most powerful nations. Hence, I extend my heartfelt praise to Bangladesh to be able to launch its ‘Climate Prosperity Plans’ and sincerely urges for all the countries to follow their example to step towards a green prosperity."

"CVF parliamentary motions highlight the efforts of each country towards climate resilience and decarbonization. Hence the ‘Mujib Planetary Prosperity Decade’ action plan, plans to chart a path forward for Bangladesh to deliver its development goals while rendering it more climate resilient, and decarbonise its economy."
"Culture thrives in a country’s DNA. We understand the value of culture to our well-being, prosperity and vitality as a city, and the arts and culture sector has a well-recognised part to play in contributing to all city priorities. Hence, the Climate Prosperity Plans will integrate the cultural aspects to ensure a holistic approach towards a green, sustainable and culturally-rich development."
