    The Ganges-Brahmaputra-Meghna (GBM) delta faces rapid, unplanned urbanization driven by rural-urban migration and informal governance. This increases vulnerability to hydro-climatic hazards and socio-ecological challenges, especially in peri-urban zones. Peri-urban livelihoods suffer due to multi-hazard exposure, unstable employment, inadequate infrastructure, limited access to services, and lack of just governance. Using Living Labs in a systems dynamics approach, FLASH addresses the broader scientific question of how to create sustainable, climate-resilient livelihood options for peri-urban populations in Bangladesh’s delta region. The interrelated outcomes offer sustainable and climate-resilient peri-urban livelihood options in the GBM delta, aligning with the Bangladesh Delta Plan 2100.

    Hundreds of thousand people living in the vulnerable coastal zone of the GBM delta are exposed to high salinity in water and soil and suffer from fresh water scarcity for different uses. Various saline water management tools and techniques have been applied and failed to provide sustainable solutions for improving their livelihood. We propose to learn from the past failures by way of closely interacting with the communities and stakeholders and come out with innovative solutions. We shall work and learn together with communities and implementors for co-designing, testing and showcasing sustainable salinity management technologies in the Living Lab.

    The research is about strategizing water and sediment management in the coastal social and ecological system (SES) to foster sustainable delta landscape and resilient delta community. We have formulated our main research question to answer in this multidisciplinary research project: How can we identify and prioritize water and sediment management (WSM) interventions that are robust and flexible across multiple scales and sectors, maximizing multi-sectoral synergistic benefits while minimizing trade-offs, to support the resilience of diverse communities through equitably reducing risk and fostering climate-resilient development?
