Minister of Environment, Forest and Climate Change Md. Shahab Uddin said that Bangladesh will increase its greenhouse gas emissions if it develops into a developed country so it should limit the level of greenhouse gas emissions through environmentally friendly technologies. We have to do our job. In particular, mitigation programs mentioned in the NDC should be implemented. Together, we must address the challenges of climate change through climate mitigation and adaptation activities.
He was speaking as the chief guest at the final workshop of the project ‘Bangladesh: First Biennial Update Report to the UNFCC’ organized by the Environment Department on Wednesday. He said the Biennial Update Report has been prepared for submission to the UNFCCC by 30 June. This document, takes an overall picture of the climate change situation in Bangladesh, an inventory of national greenhouse gas emissions for the period 2013 to 2019 and mitigation activities. According to the draft Biennial Update Report, head-on emissions rose by 31.48 per cent to 1.29 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent in 2019 from 0.98 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent in 2012 which indicates a normal emission increase situation for a developing country like Bangladesh. Nevertheless, we must continue our efforts to combat climate change and greenhouse gas emissions. Habibun Nahar, Deputy Minister of the ministry, said that the biennial update report will identify the areas where the government needs to take additional steps in addition to Bangladesh’s progress in meeting climate change commitments. The report is crucial for transparency and accountability in evaluating the effectiveness of the actions taken by the government and for adopting effective climate policies.
