Storyline

The Prime Minister of Bangladesh, Sheikh Hasina, told the General Assembly, “Despite contributing less than 0.47 per cent of global emissions, Bangladesh is one of the most climatically-vulnerable countries in the world.”

Speaking today (22 Sep) during the High-level week, Hasina added, “The adverse effects of climate pose serious threats to the security and economic prosperity of our present and future generations. Urgent, bold and ambitious collective actions are needed to address these threats.

The head of government also noted her country’s commitment to global peace and security, saying it is “well manifested” in the contribution to UN peacekeeping operations.

“As of now 188,000 men and women from Bangladesh have served in 55 peacekeeping missions in 40 countries. Owing to our own experience, we are also actively contributing to the post-conflict reconstruction efforts through our leadership role in the UN Peacebuilding Commission,” Hasina said.

The Prime Minister also referred to the sixth anniversary of the “forcibly displacement of the Rohingyas from their country.”
