She made these remarks during a discussion called "Leaders Dialogue: High Level Political Forum-From Vision to Action" at the UN Headquarters in New York on Tuesday. The Prime Minister emphasized the importance of world leaders recognizing and addressing key issues, providing visionary leadership, and committing to achieving common goals for the well-being of our world. She stressed the need for decisions that prioritize the welfare of all individuals and encompass all living species in order to create a sustainable world for future generations. Bangladesh, she said, is focused on the three pillars of sustainable development - economic, social, and environmental - through adaptation and mitigation programs, which are crucial for the country's survival, especially in the face of climate change. Bangladesh faces significant challenges due to its vulnerability to climate change, particularly global warming, which could lead to a rise in sea levels and displacement of millions of people. Sheikh Hasina highlighted Bangladesh's involvement in the Open Working Group for Sustainable Development and its efforts to submit nationally agreed targets for the Post-2015 Development Agenda to the UN. She also emphasized the importance of recognizing the specific needs of least developed countries, landlocked developing countries, and small island developing states in achieving sustainable development goals, as many of these countries are struggling to meet the Millennium Development Goals. According to her, expectations and commitments are both crucial for sustainable development. Bangladesh has achieved success in some MDGs due to its efficient use of resources, local leadership, indigenous capabilities, and innovations. It is important for developed nations to fulfill their pledge of providing 0.7 percent of GNP as Official Development Assistance (ODA) and 0.2 percent of GNP as ODA for the Least Developed Countries (LDCs), as well as transferring technologies to deprived groups. The Prime Minister emphasized how advancements in science and technology are driving socioeconomic progress and bringing states closer together, despite presenting challenges. She also highlighted the importance of making the right choices in utilizing natural and technological resources to address the new challenges of our time.
