Abstract
As Bangladesh’s economy grows and the country becomes rapidly urbanized, plastic pollution has become an escalating problem. Moving forward, the Government of Bangladesh aims for sustainable development by stepping up and modernizing the action on pollution and waste management and adopting appropriate approaches, including circular economy. The report is part of a deep dive on plastic waste management in Bangladesh, an analytical product under the Building Back Greener Bangladesh Programmatic Analytics and Advisory Services aimed to support the government of Bangladesh to better understand the status of plastic issues and form a basis on which to tackle plastic waste management in a more systematic and comprehensive manner. The deep dive builds on the analytics and aligns with the recommendations set forward in the Country Environmental Analysis (CEA) (2023) and the Multisectoral Action Plan for Sustainable Plastic Management in Bangladesh (2021) focusing on different areas of policy and regulatory reforms; economic instruments; technology and infrastructure; and awareness raising. It supports the Bank’s commitment to work with countries around the world to pursue and scale-up policies and programs that help them move toward a circular plastic economy and, in partnership with civil society and the private sector, harnesses the power of innovation to bring viable and sustainable solutions for plastic waste reduction and management.

Publication Management, Retrieval and Recycling of End-of-Life and Abandoned, Lost and Discarded Fishing Gear(Washington, DC, 2023-05-10)The Government of Indonesia’s (GoI) National Plan of Action on Marine Plastic Debris (NPOA-MPD 2017-2025) outlines the ambitious objective to reduce marine plastic debris by seventy percent by 2025. Abandoned, Lost and Discarded Fishing Gear (ALDFG) is considered to be a major component of sea-based sources of marine debris. ALDFG has increased in recent decades due to the expansion of fishing effort and greater use of synthetic fishing gear materials. Drivers of ALDFG generation include gear characteristics, fishery management frameworks and socioeconomic factors. The impacts of ALDFG on the environment, economy, livelihoods and food security are significant. ALDFG management and mitigation strategies have the potential to contribute to Indonesia’s marine plastic debris while also providing economic opportunities. This study aims to enhance the evidence available to support efforts to improve the management, retrieval and recycling of End-of-life fishing gear (EOLFG) and ALDFG in Indonesia.Publication The Ship Breaking and Recycling Industry in Bangladesh and Pakistan(World Bank, 2010-12-01)This study seeks to strengthen the knowledge base with respect to competitiveness and profitability of the Ship Breaking and Recycling Industry (SBRI) and to investigate the feasibility of ship breaking countries in this region, specifically Bangladesh and Pakistan, achieving compliance with the Hong Kong Convention (HKC) without jeopardizing the future of the industry there. The objective of the study is to inform key stakeholders associated with policy making and ship breaking including the government of Pakistan and the government of Bangladesh about the current problems encountered in the SBRI and suggest a road map to help strengthen institutional and regulatory systems that can improve work practices in the ship breaking and recycling industry. The study addresses the following: i) it assessed the productivity, competitiveness and growth potential of the industry in Bangladesh and Pakistan (chapter two); ii) it undertook environmental audits of hazardous waste materials present in ships scheduled for dismantling and established a pollution inventory as well as projections of hazardous materials till 2030 (chapter three); and iii) it provides a plan of action to enable Bangladesh and Pakistan comply with the newly signed HKC without jeopardizing the future of the SBRI in these countries (chapter four). In this study, ship breaking and recycling is defined as an industry that, through the use of land, infrastructure, machinery, and labor and through the consumption of utilities, converts ships that have outlived their economic life into steel and other recyclable items, which are then sold in local markets. The study was cover a period of 11 months in 2009. It consisted of an economic and market assessment of the SBRI in Bangladesh and Pakistan; environmental audits of ships and ship recycling facilities to establish a pollution inventory and a gap analysis and needs assessment for compliance with the HKC.Publication An Assessment of Municipal Solid Waste Plans, Collection, Recycling and Disposal of Metro Manila(Washington, DC, 2022)This study performed an assessment of the solid waste management (SWM) plans and the collection, recycling, and disposal conditions of the 17 Local Government Units (LGUs) of Metro Manila to determine the gaps and barriers hindering the effective implementation of Republic Act 9003 (RA 9003), particularly the recovery and recycling of plastic waste. The results were used to identify potential investment opportunities that could contribute to improved plastic waste management and the overall SWM systems of LGUs. The assessment focused on the approved 10-Year SWM plans, online reports of the National Solid Waste Management Commission (NSWMC), data provided by the Metro Manila Development Authority, interviews with the heads and staff of the SWM functional groups of each LGU and related government institutions, and a web search on government and private sector initiatives on recycling and plastic waste management. Metro Manila is composed of 16 cities and 1 municipality, with a combined total 1,712 barangays. Its land area of 619.1 square kilometers is bounded by large bodies of water on the west (Manila Bay) and east (Laguna de Bay). The central section LGUs are traversed by the main channel of the Marikina-Pasig River and the rest are drained by the tributaries. These waterways and waterbodies are plagued by illegally disposed and uncollected waste. The condition is exacerbated during floods when additional uncollected waste and litter move down the gradient and clog man-made canals and natural waterways. Eventually, the waste is discharged into Manila Bay or deposited into the 50 existing pumping stations of Manila. The institutional, legal, and financial aspects as well as the management of hazardous waste were not covered in this assessment. The assessment did not consider the effects of the pandemic on waste generation. Due to the restrictions brought on by the pandemic, field verification of the data gathered through interviews was not conducted.Publication Impact of Climate Change and Aquatic Salinization on Fish Habitats and Poor Communities in Southwest Coastal Bangladesh and Bangladesh Sundarbans(World Bank, Washington, DC, 2016-03)Fisheries constitute an important source of livelihoods for tens of thousands of poor people in the southwest coastal region of Bangladesh living near the UNESCO Heritage Sundarbans mangrove forest, and they supply a significant portion of protein for millions. Among the various threats fisheries in the southwest coastal region and Sundarbans mangrove forest will face because of climate change, adverse impacts from increased aquatic salinity caused by sea level rise have been identified as one of the greatest challenges. This paper focuses on 83 fish species consumed by poor households in the region. Using the salinity tolerance range for each species, 27 alternative scenarios of climate change in 2050 were investigated to assess the possible impacts of climate change and sea level rise on aquatic salinity, fish species habitats, and the poor communities that consume the affected fish species. The results provide striking evidence that projected aquatic salinization may have an especially negative impact on poor households in the region. The estimates indicate that areas with poor populations that lose species are about six times more prevalent than areas gaining species.Publication Guidance on the Development of a Roadmap for Managing Plastic Waste and Reduction of Non-Recyclable Single-use Plastics in the Philippines(Washington, DC: World Bank, 2024-07-03)Plastic waste has become a serious threat in Southeast Asia because of its adverse environmental, health, and economic impacts. Single-use plastics (SUPs) are a major concern in countries such as the Philippines due to SUPs’ extensive use and significant production, which has resulted from economic growth, increasing availability, and consumers’ desire for convenience. In 2019, Filipinos used more than 163 million plastic sachets, 48 million shopping bags, and 45 million thin-film bags (GAIA 2019). Of the estimated 1.7 million metric tons (MTs) of post-consumer plastic waste generated in the Philippines every year, 33 percent is deposited in landfills and dumpsites, and 35 percent is discarded on open land. A significant amount leaks into waterways and the ocean (WWF Philippines, Cyclos GmbH, and AMH Philippines 2020). The government of the Philippines has adopted several important measures to combat the negative impacts of mismanaged plastic waste. The principal law governing plastic waste management is the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2000 (Republic Act No. 9003), which is supplemented by the Philippine Development Plan (PDP) 2023–2028; the Extended Producer Responsibility Act of 2022 (Republic Act 11898); and the ordinances passed by at least 489 of the country’s 1,634 local government units (LGUs) to regulate the use of plastic bags and expanded polystyrene. In addition to these legal instruments, the government developed the National Plan of Action for the Prevention, Reduction, and Management of Marine Litter (NPOA-ML), which has the goal of achieving Zero Waste to Philippine Waters by 2040. However, despite these strong measures, plastic waste pollution continues to be a serious problem across the Philippines. The World Bank, in response to a request from the government of the Philippines, developed this Roadmap to pave the way for attaining the goal of Zero Plastic Waste Pollution by 2040.

Publication Making Headway in the Water Sector(Washington, DC: World Bank, 2025-01-03)The Global Water Security and Sanitation Partnership (GWSP) was launched in 2017 as an international partnership to support countries to meet the targets related to water and sanitation under the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly those of SDG 6. GWSP is a platform for collaboration and support, providing client countries and development partners with global knowledge, innovations, and country-level technical support while leveraging World Bank resources and financial instruments. GWSP-funded knowledge and technical assistance influence the design and implementation of government policies and programs, as well as water sector investments and reforms carried out by client countries with the support of the World Bank and other partners. The GWSP Results Framework streamlines the tracking and reporting of results using standardized indicators grouped into three blocks. The third block -Block C- includes qualitative and quantitative assessments of the influence and impact of knowledge and technical assistance on lending operations of the Global Department for Water in nine priority countries, based on agreed-upon indicators, at intervals over the life of the GWSP. These countries represent the geographic and socioeconomic diversity of GWSP’s portfolio. From fiscal year (FY) 2018 to FY24, these countries included the Arab Republic of Egypt, Bangladesh, Benin, Bolivia, Ethiopia, Haiti, Pakistan, the Socialist Republic of Viet Nam, and Uganda. In FY24, country teams completed end-of-term monitoring forms to document results and the contributions of GWSP-funded knowledge and technical assistance in strengthening institutions, regulatory and policy environments, and investments in water, sanitation, hygiene, climate-resilient irrigation, and water resources management. This report summarizes the results achieved as of June 30,2024.Publication Education Finance Watch 2024(Washington, DC: World Bank, 2024-12-24)The Education Finance Watch (EFW) is a collaborative effort between the World Bank, the Global Education Monitoring (GEM) Report, and the UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS). The EFW aims to provide an analysis of trends, patterns, and issues in education financing around the world.Publication World Bank Annual Report 2024(Washington, DC: World Bank, 2024-10-25)This annual report, which covers the period from July 1, 2023, to June 30, 2024, has been prepared by the Executive Directors of both the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) and the International Development Association (IDA)—collectively known as the World Bank—in accordance with the respective bylaws of the two institutions. Ajay Banga, President of the World Bank Group and Chairman of the Board of Executive Directors, has submitted this report, together with the accompanying administrative budgets and audited financial statements, to the Board of Governors.Publication Global Economic Prospects, January 2025(Washington, DC: World Bank, 2025-01-16)Global growth is expected to hold steady at 2.7 percent in 2025-26. However, the global economy appears to be settling at a low growth rate that will be insufficient to foster sustained economic development—with the possibility of further headwinds from heightened policy uncertainty and adverse trade policy shifts, geopolitical tensions, persistent inflation, and climate-related natural disasters. Against this backdrop, emerging market and developing economies are set to enter the second quarter of the twenty-first century with per capita incomes on a trajectory that implies substantially slower catch-up toward advanced-economy living standards than they previously experienced. Without course corrections, most low-income countries are unlikely to graduate to middle-income status by the middle of the century. Policy action at both global and national levels is needed to foster a more favorable external environment, enhance macroeconomic stability, reduce structural constraints, address the effects of climate change, and thus accelerate long-term growth and development.Publication Targeted, Integrated, and Prepared Policy Packages to Address the Urban Heat in Korea(Washington, DC: World Bank, 2024-12-24)Global warming has dramatically increased the frequency, intensity, and duration of extreme heat events, or heatwaves. Exposure to extreme heat presents a wide range of challenges for public health, labor productivity, and economic growth, among other areas, which are often amplified in cities. Globally, recent deadly heatwaves attest to the urgency of the urban heat problem, which is growing with the ongoing expansion of urban populations and the progression of climate change. This policy brief examines the responses of the Republic of Korea to urban heat problems at national and city levels. Korea formally recognized heat as a natural disaster in 2018, which represented a significant milestone in institutionalizing urban heat interventions across various ministries and agencies. Guided by national frameworks, Korean cities, including Busan and Daegu, the two cities presented as cases in this brief, developed and implemented a package of complementary actions, consisting of legislation and planning, small-scale capital investments, and social programs. This comprehensive effort to address the urban heat agenda in Korea contributed to lowering local temperatures, reducing heat-related health costs by US173.22 million dollars, and reducing the heat related mortality rate by 72 percent compared to the counterfactual. The Korean experience can inform World Bank task teams and client cities and countries as they explore feasible entry points for refining and scaling up urban heat interventions in the coming years.
