“People’s Empowerment for Addressing Climate Justice and Environmental Justice (PEACE)” is a long-term community-driven & ecosystem-based adaptation to climate change program of the CDP with the financial and technical support by the Evangelischer Entwicklungsdienst (EED).

The PEACE programme is one of the pioneer effort in Bangladesh to undertake a comprehensive bottomup planning process on climate adaptation starting from village level, directly guided by the most vulnerable groups (extreme poor, marginalized groups, specially women & indigenous people) within the community and are in line with national climate change policy goals and strategies. The PEACE process is as important as the results because it ensures active involvement.
