Abstract
The concept of Global “Mutirão” has emerged as a potential framework for addressing climate challenges through coordinated global action. Unlike traditional top-down climate governance mechanisms, the “Mutirão” framework promotes participatory decision-making, knowledge sharing, and locally driven initiatives that can strengthen resilience and enhance the effectiveness of climate action. The approach has the potential to strengthen climate action efforts by fostering collective responsibility, shared resources, and coordinated implementation of sustainable climate strategies. Bangladesh, being one of the most climate vulnerable countries, could benefit significantly from the Global “Mutirão” approach, as it aligns closely with its long tradition of community-based cooperation and climate resilience initiatives. Through a Mutirão-style framework of collective global action, Bangladesh can strengthen collaboration between government institutions, local communities, international organisations, and civil society to address climate challenges more effectively. The article critically examines, using both primary and secondary data, whether the Global “Mutirão” represents a genuinely transformative pathway for climate solutions or merely another rhetorical construct in the evolving discourse of climate governance. However, the findings reveal that while the Global “Mutirão” offers a promising vision for collective climate action grounded in solidarity and cooperation, its effectiveness will depend on establishing concrete governance structures, ensuring inclusive participation and sustaining political commitment at both national and international levels.
