Description- This technical assistance assignment seeks to downscale global and regional climate models to assess the changing intensity and occurrence of climate hazard risks in Bangladesh, with the objective of informing resilient power system planning. Considering a range of plausible scenarios, the assignment prepares hazard risk profiles for overlaying with available power system asset location data, including for electricity networks, generators, and fuel supply. The objective is to equip Government of Bangladesh and power sector agencies with resources to facilitate asset and system-level resilience planning and policy under uncertainty. This project will improve the resilience of the communities against climate change and hydro-meteorological (flood and tropical cyclone) disasters.
