Bangladesh Delta Plan 2100 The Government of Bangladesh has formulated a comprehensive development plan - the Bangladesh Delta Plan (BDP 2100), focusing on economic growth, environmental conservation, and enhanced climate resilience. The plan lays out holistic and cross-sectoral action needed to improve productivity and minimize disaster risks. Coupled with increasing climate risks, a business-as-usual scenario, without the implementation of the plan, would lead to declining agricultural production, increased unemployment, and migration. This would put additional pressure on urbanization resulting in an estimated decline in GDP growth to 6.8% by 2031 and 5.6% by 2041. This would mean an additional 25.1 million people living in moderate poverty and 5.4 million in extreme poverty by 2041. The Delta Plan will also help reduce urban migration by about 60%, coastal zone out-migration by 50%, and river area out-migration by 50%.
It will also improve the navigability of 900 km of inland waterways to reduce travel time and transport costs - both for cargo and passengers - thereby boosting national and regional
