UNB, Dhaka :
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Wednesday said it is today, not tomorrow, to take action to save the planet as mankind is going to lose its ‘war against nature’.
“In our war against nature, we’ll only lose. All our actions manifest that we’re consciously destroying the very support systems that are keeping us alive. So, the time to take action to save the planet is not tomorrow, but today,” she said.
The Prime Minister said this while addressing the virtual Climate Vulnerable Forum (CVF) leaders’
event from her official residence Ganobahban. As the current president of the CVF, she chaired the event which was hosted by Bangladesh along with Global Centre on Adaptation (GCA).
She put emphasis on the strict implementation of the Paris Agreement saying that it is the only way to slow down the current rate of damages caused by climate change.
Sheikh Hasina said the governments should not only honour their national contributions under the Paris Agreement, they also need to substantially increase their ambitions. The idea of climate justice must be established for the sake of climate and the planet.
She said more vigorous provision of finance must be ensured by major economies, MDBs, and IFIs along with access to technology.
