Climate change is now widely recognized as a human-made problem with significant long-term economic and social effects. Addressing its causes and impacts has become an international priority. Poor people, especially in the developing world, are already bearing the negative impacts of climate change. Because drastic mitigation through a substantive reduction in greenhouse gas emissions especially from the industrialized North is yet to take off, climatic variability and change are likely to get worse and extend further into the future. Such shifts in climatic regime threaten to undermine a wide range of human rights of present and future generations. To explore the avenues for climate resources, the paper intends to review existing assessments of global financial needs for climatic actions. The paper wants to further identify accessible sources of international climate funds. Assessing the current state of funding mechanisms in Bangladesh to address the challenges of climate change is also a priority this paper intends to achieve.
