Bangladesh unrest brings uncertainty to climate agenda

Quick Summary:

Activists want the interim government to make climate a priority as it works to restore democracy.

It has been the only country to twice lead the Climate Vulnerable Forum - a global lobbying platform of 68 middle and low income countries - as an outspoken voice for a fairer deal on climate finance for the Global South.

Under COP, Bangladesh will also have to submit new goals for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, known as nationally determined contributions (NDCs), in 2025.“We are expecting a ‘people’s NDC’ this time, which means more grassroots participation and more youth voices in the decision process,” said YouthNet’s Rahman.
