A low-carbon and hunger-free future for Bangladesh: An ex- ante assessment of synergies and trade-offs in different transition pathways

Feeding and nourishing a growing global population in Bangladesh is major challenge changing climate. A multi-level participatory scenario approach with corresponding modeling decision support tools developed applied to decision-makers developing scenario-guided enabling policy for food security the future under climate change. The results presented this paper show how, different scenarios, agri-food system may transform next decade as result of interaction intertwined institutional, technological, market drivers Bangladesh. For building, agriculture community was brought together energy community. We also experimented ways bring voices that are often less included policymaking, such poor rural communities youth. quantification performed by MAGNET, GTAP-based multi-sector multi-region computable general equilibrium model. simulation depict comprehensive picture varied pressures on agricultural resources opportunities economic development trade Finally, we did an ex-ante assessment trade-offs synergies between zero-hunger- zero-emission-related targets within Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) scenarios.
