Foregrounding the voices of people living in three different communities of displacement in Bangladesh, this field research and advocacy report examines the nexus of climate change, loss and damage and displacement. This comprehensive report highlights promising interventions by Bangladeshi civil society organisations that have helped internally displaced people (IDPs) living in protracted displacement move toward durable solutions. It also examines positive developments on the policy front, including Bangladesh's fledgling National Strategy on Internal Displacement Management (NSIDM). At the same time, it calls attention to how Bangladesh's protracted displacement crisis remains under acknowledged and therefore under addressed in national policy and programming. The findings and recommendations in this report are intended to inform the UNFCCC's Loss and Damage mechanism – the Fund for Responding to Loss and Damage (FRLD), the Santiago Network for Loss and Damage (SNLD) and the Warsaw International Mechanism (WIM) ExCom, including its Taskforce on Displacement. Each must urgently demonstrate its commitment to addressing the growing displacement crisis and supporting durable solution programming. The report's findings and recommendations are also relevant to intergovernmental, governmental and civil society organisations working in and outside Bangladesh. Furthermore, the report suggests how conventional durable solutions approaches to displacement must evolve to remain relevant in a world of escalating losses and damages resulting from climate change.

My research focuses on the spatial networks that link communities together, and it contributes to knowledge of the relationship between economy, environment, and development. This work is driven by underlying questions of space and place, particularly how communities improve livelihoods by using local resources and also by connecting to other places through networks. Projects have included urban agriculture and farmer’s markets in the U.S. and grassroots disaster response in the Pacific Island nation of Vanuatu. This has drawn on training in urban geography, political ecology, and geographic information systems.

“Constructivism” is used here to refer to the epistemological position in which human observers are necessary for knowing, and thus, we are necessarily participants in the construction of knowledge, both individually and collectively.
