The COP30 presidency wishes to achieve some tangible outcomes.
Climate change is a man-made problem, but campaigners and irresponsible politicians have blown this out of proportion.
The buildup of carbon dioxide and other GHGs in the atmosphere has elevated global temperatures to perilously high levels.
In Bangladesh’s saline delta, climate-vulnerable women like Jamuna and Pushpa lead adaptation with innovative farming and resilience. Despite gender inequality and health risks, they drive sustainable solutions for survival, food security, and environmental justice.
Says ICIMOD DDG Izabella Koziell marking World Environment Day
Can we industrialize without destroying ourselves? Or will the future generation look back at our actions and ask, “Our ancestors built the economy but destroyed the land that fed it?”
Tariffs will serious impact on climate change, an unfolding crisis of our time.
Cars are harmful to our health and to our environment.
Banks could face financial risks unless immediate climate action is taken, said the Bangladesh Bank (BB) in its first climate stress testing report published yesterday.
We would like to remind the authorities, different aid groups, and people in general, that the biggest challenges are still ahead of us.
We need visionary leaders to deal with the impending climate catastrophe.
Locally-led approaches are community-focused but differs from our traditional practice in several ways, and are more effective.
These actors are addressing losses and damages from human-induced climate change now.
While individual carbon footprints are dwarfed by global fossil fuel companies, we can do a lot to tackle the climate crisis and “be the change we wish to see in the world.”
As we move into uncharted territory as a consequence of climate change, it is crucial that groundwater responses to changes, not only in the magnitude, duration, and variability of monsoon rainfall but also our use of land and water, are better understood.
At a minimum, we must set a goal of ecological literacy for all our students at the tertiary level.
Securing financial assets to combat climate change is not easy, particularly for developing economies such as Bangladesh.
The world must cut greenhouse gas emissions by at least a quarter before the end of this decade to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. Progress needed toward such a major shift will inevitably impose short-term economic costs, though these are dwarfed by the innumerable long-term benefits of slowing climate change.
The transport sector currently accounts for a quarter of energy-related carbon emissions globally. It also ranks among the fastest-growing sources of such emissions.
