The purpose of this study was to evaluate the sustainability of climate change policy by a transnational non-governmental organization (TNGO) in a developing country. The study specifically focuses on the case of Bangladesh Rural Action Committee (BRAC) and its climate change strategy in Bangladesh. The theoretical framework of the thesis comprises three parts: climate change as a security threat and the issue of survival, the discourse of weak and strong sustainability, and the needed shift towards critical green theory in International Relations. To conduct the analysis, the research utilized the strategic report published by BRAC in 2017. The chosen analytical methods encompass Dryzek's environmental discourse analysis and a simplified taxonomy of neoliberal and green environmental governance. The study found that BRAC's climate change policy in Bangladesh displays both weak and strong sustainability characteristics. However, strong sustainability appears to be more prominent within the organization’s strategies, as they predominantly strive to effect systemic transformation with a long-term orientation.
