The Climate Resilient Local Infrastructure Centre (CReLIC) of the Local Government Engineering Department (LGED) launched its website on Monday.
The launching of the CReLIC website is a milestone, said LGED chief Engineer Sheikh Md Mohsin while officially launching the website in the afternoon, according to a press release.
Through CReLIC special training will be organised for the LGED engineers for enhancing their knowledge and skills in the future, he said.
The website has been decorated with time-befitting features considering education, research and professional development in the climate sector.
By different modules, steps have been taken to share different publications, images, and documentaries of events that recently occurred in the CReLIC, Md Mohsin said. People will be able to browse and download information by logging in to the website.
Additional Chief Engineer and CReLIC director Gopal Krishna Debnath, Project Director of CRIM, Md Nazmul Hasan Chowdhury, IDC- CReLIC team leader Dr Daan Boom and their top official also attended the event.
Local Government Engineering Department (LGED) established Climate Resilient Local Infrastructure Center (CReLIC) under its Climate Resilient Infrastructure Mainstreaming Project (CRIMP) funded by the Green Climate Fund (GCF), the government of Germany through the German Development Bank (KfW) and government of Bangladesh to mainstream climate resilience issues in designing, planning, constructions, operation and maintenance of all infrastructures at the local level.
The Centre will trigger a stepwise institutional learning process fully integrated into LGED structures and backed by pilot investment schemes under components two and three of CRIMP climate resilient infrastructures development in urban and rural areas. As a result, the CRIM project aims to increase the adaptive capacity of more than 134,000 people directly to climate change. Indirectly, 10.4 million people (6.8 per cent of the country’s total population) will benefit from climate-resilient infrastructure planning and implementation in the long term.
