Building the Resilience of BURO Bangladesh’s Customers to the Impacts of Climate Change

MSC conducted research with BURO Bangladesh on agri-allied customers in four climate-vulnerable regions: Satkhira, Rangpur, Tangail, and Cox’s Bazar. The study assesses the direct and indirect impacts of climate change on livelihoods, customers’ coping and adaptive strategies, and their use of financial services to manage climate risks. It also explores their transactional behaviors, and demand for financial products. Based on the findings, it recommends ways for BURO and other MFIs to strengthen services and enhance customer resilience to climate change.
