Who We Are?
The Institute of Climate Change, Environment & Sustainability (ICCES) is a non-profit research and training organization dedicated to advancing climate resilience, environmental management, and sustainable development in Bangladesh and beyond. ICCES serves as a platform connecting science, policy, and practice—bridging the gap between academic research, professional training, and evidence-based policymaking.
ICCES is registered as a charitable trust under the Trust Act of Bangladesh and operates through a participatory governance structure consisting of the Board of Trustees, Executive Team, Advisory Council, and General Members. Together, they ensure the institute’s integrity, inclusiveness, and long-term sustainability.
