In Bangladesh, Rangamati Hill District Council works with local communities to combat worsening droughts, landslides, and flash floods through solar power-based safe water supply facilities and the provision of safe drinking water during crises.

The Council has also established a climate resilience committee and supported local communities in conducting climate vulnerability assessments, which have fed into the creation of local resilience plans.

Rangamati Hill District Council won the GCA Local Adaptation Champions Awards in the inclusive leadership category. The Awards recognized four winning organizations for their pioneering work in leading climate change adaptation for vulnerable local communities.
