MSC’s research with BURO Bangladesh explored climate change impacts on agri-allied customers in four vulnerable regions, their coping strategies, financial service usage, and product needs. We also provided recommendations for BURO and MFIs to enhance customer resilience.

MSC conducted research with BURO Bangladesh on agri-allied customers in four climate-vulnerable regions: Satkhira, Rangpur, Tangail, and Cox’s Bazar. The study assessed 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 explored their transactional behaviors, and demand for financial products. Based on the findings, we recommended ways for BURO and other MFIs to strengthen services and enhance customer resilience to climate change.
