El-nino risk mitigation initiative for heatwave

In response to El Niño-induced drought and heatwave risks, Save the Children, with RIMES and MJSKS, piloted anticipatory actions in Kurigram, Bangladesh. The project, active from June 2023 to early 2024, focused on forecast-based thresholds, early warning, and community-level preparedness. This document gives an overview of the project and highlights key actions to inform future anticipatory approaches in climate-vulnerable contexts.
