Bangladesh is shifting its infrastructure focus toward low-carbon materials and climate-resilient urban planning to combat rising temperatures and flooding. With the construction sector contributing significantly to global CO2 emissions, the country is prioritizing resource efficiency and circularity in its building standards. Supported by UN initiatives, the government is working to align procurement rules and building regulations with sustainability goals. This transition aims to reduce the economic losses caused by heat stress and extreme weather while creating new markets for green building technologies.
