1. Executive Summary

The issues related to climate change including mitigation, adaptation, loss and damage, finance,

technology, capacity building and related international and national policy responses were

addressed in this short training workshop. The intention was to address all the relevant issues of

climate change regime so that the participants can have brief overview on the all issues and

identify their interest for further study and research. Hence the resource persons with sectoral

expertise including those from abroad conducted the different sessions maintain the timeframe

and subject matter. Targeted participants attended the training workshop, who were selected

with a rigorous selection process. Logistic and organizational issues were satisfactory for all, in

particular the training center was liked by all the students and resource persons. However,

consultations with participants and resource persons suggest that, it was too tight schedule and

short time frame for such a comprehensive subject matter of the training workshop. However,

all students tried to identify the research interests followed by the research workshop and now

we need to develop a strategy to assist these students to pursue their researches and to study

further. In particular, regarding organizing such future training workshop in future, it can be

considered for a five day residential training workshop like summer school.

Initial idea was to organize Summer School on Climate Change Law and Policy for the students

of South Asian Countries as to next step. Need to have a discussion among the collaborating

partners to develop a strategy to continue and enhance the initiative to build the capacity of the

students.

2. Background

The Training Workshop on Climate Change Law and Policy, a capacity building initiative for

the law students and students from environment management related disciplines, intended to

make students aware about climate change issues and related national and international legal

and policy responses. It also wanted to provide guidance for further study and research on

climate change related issues through enhancing understanding on existing and potential legal

and policy frameworks. This report aims to evaluate the Training Workshop, which would

provide further guidance to organize such training workshop more effectively. Also it provide

some ideas future course of actions.

3. Objectives and Assessment Reports

The specific objectives of the training workshop were as follows:

- To make aware the students on climate change

- To make them understand the legal and policy responses to climate change

- To provide guidance for research and further study on climate law and policy issue

- To provide guidance on the thesis works and publications on climate law and policy

- To extend this program in South Asian as Climate Law Summer School

Prior to start the training workshop, a pre-assessment and after the training workshop a post

The reports show that, before training workshop 25% of trainee, had minimum understanding

on climate change issues and related laws and policies. After the training workshop, 67% of

them reported that this training workshop enhanced their understandings on critical issues

related to climate change law and policy. The assessment reports are annexed herewith as

annexure 01. Also the student enabled to identify their future research and study areas on

different issues of climate change. This identified areas need to be examined further for

future course of actions and to support these students. The identified research areas of the

students are annexed herewith as annexure 02.

4. Organizers

The training workshop was organized by Christian Commission for Development in

Bangladesh (CCDB) and Centre for Climate Change-Bangladesh (CCJ-B), in collaboration

with

- Faculty of Law, Chittagong University,

- International Centre for Climate Change and Development (ICCCAD at IUB

- Clean Energy-Nepal (South Asia),

- International Institution for Environment and Development (IIED) UK and

- Legal Response Initiative (LRI).

CCD-B provided financial and logistics supports. CCD-B Hope Centre, is a perfect place for

organizing such residential training programmes. Students and Resource Persons like it very

much. ICCCAD, IIED, LRI collaborated through providing resource persons. There is no

enough resource persons in Bangladesh related to Climate Law and Policy and hence presence

of these international environmental lawyers as resource persons was highly appreciated and

inspired the students.

3.1 Overall Assessment

The charts shaped above make comparative analysis about the level of understanding of

participants before and after completion of training workshop on climate change law and

policy. All participants have been characterized in three different categories viz; very

confident, confident and not confident.

In pre-evaluation 25% of trainee were found very confident with the climate change law and

policy, nevertheless after completion of the training workshop it is 67%. It is clear that

confident level of participants improved rapidly and they are becoming very confident about

climate change law and policy. The trainees who were unaware (not confident) about climate

change law and policy, found 32%, but subsequently it is only 4% of total participants.

Understanding capacity of participant’s increases drastically after completing three days

successful training workshop. Overall, it can be said that maximum participants have

successfully completed the training workshop with satisfactory level of knowledge on climate

change law and policy.

4.1 Assessment of participant’s educational background

The following pie chart illustrates the ratio of participant from four different disciplines, who

attended in three days training workshop on climate change law and policy, organized by

Christian Commission for Development in Bangladesh (CCDB) and Centre for Climate

Justice-Bangladesh (CCJ-B).

It is apparent that the largest proportions of participants (59%) are from law backgrounds,

which are 17 in number out of 29 participants. The second highest proportion is from

environmental science disciplines which are 31% of the total participants. Only two (2)

participants joined as of agricultural background, major in Fisheries science, which is 7% of

the total participants. It is obvious that only one (1) trainee is since economics background,

which 3% is of total number.
