Bangladesh, one of the most densely populated countries in the world, is being affected by the impacts of climate change severely. The current urbanisation rate of 3.2%, which is rapidly accelerating due to climate-induced migration, leads to a complete overload of traffic and transport systems in cities and its unregulated growth results in enormous economic problems as well as damage to the environment and health. Bangladesh’s transport sector emissions are primarily generated from fossil fuel combustion activities. The country intends to cut transport sector emissions by 2030 as outlined in Government’s various policy documents. In this context, the proposed Technical Cooperation Module “Transition to Sustainable E-Mobility” builds on commitment of German development cooperation in the Framework of the Development Cooperation Programme in Bangladesh.
