DHAKA, 28 October 2022, (TON): The British High Commission in Dhaka organised a discussion with representatives from the Bangladesh government, policymakers, NGOs, and youth organisations on how to work together in building momentum for solutions to climate change in Bangladesh.

A press release issued by British high commission said “the discussion was held at the Residence of the British High Commissioner where young climate change activists from Bangladesh Youth Environment Initiative shared their ideas with climate experts and policy influencers.”

British High Commissioner Robert Chatterton Dickson said "as one of the most climate-vulnerable countries in the world, Bangladesh is playing a key role internationally both in prompting high emitting countries to be more ambitious, as well as setting the example in building resilience."

The envoy said “the UK and Bangladesh are partnered closely in the run up to COP26 to raise global ambition and both the countries continue to work closely to turn commitments into action.”
