Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

Bangladesh highlighted its climate vulnerability despite contributing less than 0.5% of global greenhouse gas emissions. The call for climate finance and the implementation of the Loss and Damage Fund relates directly to managing the economic risks associated with climate change. The crisis involves over 1.2 million Rohingyas sheltered in Bangladesh, placing a significant burden on the country.

Tarique Rahman presided over the 81st UNGA session while Bangladesh advanced Rohingya repatriation efforts and expanded trade ties with Türkiye.
