The cabinet approved the name change during a meeting in the Secretariat on Monday, which was chaired by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. Cabinet Secretary Mohammad Shafiul Alam informed the media that the proposal for the name change had been previously submitted. The government decided to include 'Climate Change' in the name after reaching an agreement with neighboring countries. As a result, the ministry will now be known as 'Poribesh, Bon o Jolbayu Poribartan' in Bangla and 'Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change' in English. The decision to change the name was made during the 4th meeting of the National Environment Committee on August 6, 2017. The name change will take effect once the Bangladesh president signs a notification. Bangladesh is highly vulnerable to climate change, with global warming posing a significant challenge. Experts warn that ongoing climate change could lead to widespread flooding and displacement of billions of people. Since 2009, the Awami League government has established two funds to address climate change issues. The funds are known as the Bangladesh Climate Change Trust (BCCT) and the Bangladesh Climate Change Resilience Fund (BCCRF).
