Labour MP Rushanara Ali criticized the current British government for not giving enough attention to the issue of climate change. She expressed her disappointment at the lack of focus on climate change during a press conference in Dhaka, where she had arrived to participate in a climate change tribunal organized by Oxfam International. The tribunal, scheduled for Monday at the Bangabandhu International Conference Centre, aims to address the legal protection of climate change victims. The opposition MP strongly criticized the current UK government for deciding not to increase aid for the next two years. She acknowledged that the government had committed to providing aid up to 0.7 percent of the gross national income by 2013 and promised to increase aid in the third year. The shadow minister for international development pointed out that the previous Labour government was more focused on addressing climate change, citing the world's first Climate Change Act with legally binding carbon emission targets. Ali, a member of the shadow cabinet, stated that they would continue to promote awareness and action on climate change. Ali emphasized the importance of keeping climate change on the agenda and stated that the Labour Party will continue to support adaptation programs and work towards making funds more impactful. She expressed her intention to use her position to advocate for measures that support countries like Bangladesh, which are disproportionately affected by climate change. Ali acknowledged that the international community is not doing sufficient work in addressing climate change, suggesting that developed and wealthy nations should be doing more to combat this issue. Her views align with Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's recent statement criticizing the lack of seriousness from the international community on climate change. However, she disagreed with providing opportunities for people affected by climate change in developing countries to migrate to developed nations. In an interview with the Guardian, Finance Minister AMA Muhith suggested that developed nations should accept climate change victims, as they bear more responsibility. Ali argued that migration should not be the solution to climate change, emphasizing the importance of implementing preventive measures. In 2010, Rushanara Ali became a Member of Parliament for Bethnal Green and Bow, where one-third of the population is British-Bangladeshi. She was the first person of Bangladeshi descent to be elected to the House of Commons and one of the first three Muslim women MPs elected in 2010.
