Community Consultations On Peoples NDCs
Bringing people’s voices into climate policy
Youth for NDCs organized 28 community consultations across Bangladesh to gather recommendations for NDC 3.0.
These consultations were designed to make climate policy discussions more accessible to young people and communities outside formal policy spaces. The process created opportunities for participants to share their experiences, concerns, priorities, and recommendations related to Bangladesh’s climate commitments.
Why Community Consultations Matter
Climate change is experienced locally, but climate policies are often written nationally. Community consultations help close this gap by connecting lived realities with policy recommendations.
Through the People’s NDCs process, Youth for NDCs worked to ensure that Bangladesh’s NDC 3.0 was informed not only by technical priorities, but also by people’s experiences.
Together with the NDC 3.0 Dialogue Series and the (YOU)th at the Heart of NDC 3.0 project, the community consultations contributed to 19 policy recommendations being reflected in Bangladesh’s NDC 3.0, with youth mentioned 64 times in the final document.
