CLEAN - Coastal Livelihood and Environmental Action Network

CLEAN - Coastal Livelihood and Environmental Action Network CLEAN has been established in 2010 with active participation of like-minded persons and environmental groups.

CLEAN is a rights-based organisation that works in Bangladesh with community people, smallholders, youths and civil society representatives in the sectors of the environment, energy, biodiversity, food security and financial accountability. CLEAN promotes local ecology based adaptation to ensure sustainable livelihoods of natural resource dependent coastal communities through environmental protection. To this end, CLEAN works with smallholders and women farmers, fisher folks, forest peoples, indigenous communities and other producers to protect natural resources like forests, common water bodies, land resources, mineral resources and atmosphere from grabbing by powerful groups including International Financial Institutes (IFIs), corporate companies and vested interest groups.

🏔️ Renewable doesn’t automatically mean risk-free. ⚠️🌱

⚡ A transition fuel without an exit date leads to carbon & fossil-fuel lock-in.

🌱 AIIB should close the gas loophole and move finance toward renewables, storage, grids, and a just transition.

➡️ Let transition mean transition. ✊🌍

"Extracting coal through an open-pit mine is a “suicidal move.” Coal production at Barapukuria is already costing around $176 per tonne, while the international coal price is much lower.
