Just two days ago, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina wrote an article on vulnerability of people of Bangladesh due to climate change. She said in her article, “the G20 countries are responsible for about 80% of total global emissions, while the bottom 100 countries only account for 3.5%. The world cannot successfully tackle the climate challenge without significant action from everyone.”

If we don’t increase our ambition, we will all lose out. As many countries and companies can attest, finding low-carbon solutions and minimizing climate risks are the best ways of building more resilient, more efficient and more competitive economies. We all benefit from thriving trading partners in a low-carbon resilient world. Surely no one is in favor of the alternative – a fractured global order in which even rich countries are impoverished by the destructive force of global warming.

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina warned the global leaders about the climate crisis which will create threat to the human existence and asked the global leaders to increase ambition to reduce the green house gases emission to protect planet and humankind.
