Bangladesh faces a very vulnerable position in terms of climate change impacts due to its location, and our quality of water is extremely dependent on water use and management practices upstream. Therefore, there is a need for regional cooperation and the development of basin-level integrated governance approaches jointly by the countries sharing the Ganges, Brahmaputra and Meghna (GBM) basins. This is challenging considering the region lacks a legal and institutional framework to facilitate regional water cooperation in the GBM Basin.
