Environment, Forest and Climate Change Adviser Syeda Rizwana Hasan today said climate finance, adaptation, and mitigation strategies must be fair and priority should be given to the badly-affected climate vulnerable communities.
She said that the commitment for providing US$100 billion to address the international climate funding crisis should be increased.
“While contributions from developed nations may resolve some financial issues, true climate justice will still remain elusive,” she added.
The Environment Adviser made these remarks while speaking at a seminar titled “Road to Baku: COP29 – Position of CSOs in Bangladesh on Climate Change” at the Department of Environment (DoE) in Dhaka.
Rizwana reiterated that Bangladesh would maintain a firm stance on limiting global temperature rise within 1.5 degrees Celsius.
