Syeda Rizwana Hasan, Advisor to the Ministry of Environment, Forests, Climate Change and Water Resources, said at the ‘Annual High Level Ministerial Round Table Meeting on Pre-2030 Ambitions’ held on COP29 that it is not possible to wait until 2030 to take effective action against climate change. To meet the 1.5°C target, developed countries must commit to rapid emissions reductions and implement their commitments under the Paris Agreement.
Highlighting how Bangladesh, as a climate-vulnerable country, is dealing with the reality of climate change every day, she emphasized on coordinated global initiatives.
