Bangladesh is one of the countries most affected by climate change. The new government has initiated a strong and uncompromising diplomacy at recent international climate conferences.
Weather Bangladesh’s environmental advisor has made a strong statement on the world stage to recover fair compensation from the ‘Loss and Damage’ fund as promised by developed countries.
Diplomatic success and realization of rights:
Demand for fairness: Bangladesh is no longer just waiting for relief, but is presenting compensation to rich carbon-emitting countries as its ‘right’.
Climate resilience: A plan has been made to use the funds directly for building coastal embankments, cyclone shelters, and helping climate refugees, rather than wasting them on red tape.
The new government’s strong stance on climate diplomacy has enhanced Bangladesh’s image in the international community. The government’s actions to protect the environment, both nationally and internationally, are laying the foundation for a sustainable future.
