Dhaka, Bangladesh (BBN) – Bangladeshi climate network has expressed its frustration over the outcome of the recently held global climate change conference (COP-18) terming it ‘more inactive and injustice for combating climate change.’
The platform of the country’s seven organizations involved in climate activism highly emphasized on appropriating climate negotiation as a part of the country’s foreign diplomacy.
The observations were made at a press conference held at the National Press Club in Dhaka on Monday titled “Doha Gateway: In Between Life and Death” dedicated to the COP-18 that was held between November 26 and December 09 last in Doha, Qatar.
The activists and experts of the network termed the Doha Climate Conference outcome as ‘climate injustice for climate vulnerable countries like Bangladesh’. “It has also given developed countries opportunity to remain inactive considering finance transfer and carbon emission issues,”
The network includes Bangladesh Poribesh Andoloan (BAPA), Climate Finance Governance Network (CFGN) under the Transparency International Bangladesh, Bangladesh Indigenous People’s Network for Climate Change and Bio-Diversity (BIPNetCCBD), Climate Change Development Forum (CCDF), Campaign for Sustainable Rural Livelihood (CSRL), Equity and Justice Working Group Bangladesh (EquityBD) and Network on Climate Change Bangladesh (NCCB).
