Labour MP Rushanara Ali criticized the current British government for not giving enough attention to the issue of climate change. She expressed her disappointment during a press conference in Dhaka, where she arrived to participate in a climate change tribunal organized by Oxfam International. The tribunal, coordinated by an NGO alliance called Campaign for Sustainable Rural Livelihoods (CSRL), is set to take place on Monday at the Bangabandhu International Conference Centre. The purpose of the 'Shadow Climate Tribunal' is to explore ways to protect those affected by climate change within a legal framework, according to a statement from the organizers. The opposition MP criticized the current UK government for not increasing aid for the next two years, despite committing to reaching 0.7 percent of gross national income by 2013. She also noted that the previous Labour government was more focused on addressing climate change, passing the world's first Climate Change Act with binding carbon emission targets. In her role as a member of the shadow cabinet, Ali emphasized their commitment to raising awareness about climate change. Ali emphasized the importance of keeping climate change on the agenda, stating that the Labour Party will continue to back adaptation programs and work towards ensuring that funds are utilized effectively. She expressed her desire to advocate for countries like Bangladesh, which are severely impacted by climate change. Ali acknowledged that the international community is falling short in addressing the issue, particularly calling on developed nations to step up their efforts. This aligns with Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's recent criticism of the international community's lack of seriousness in tackling climate change. She, however, disagreed with the idea of allowing people affected by climate change in developing countries to migrate to developed nations. Finance minister AMA Muhith suggested in an interview with the Guardian that developed nations should accept climate change victims, but Ali argued that migration is not the solution to climate change. She emphasized the importance of implementing preventive measures. In May 2010, Rushanara Ali became a Member of Parliament for Bethnal Green and Bow, where one-third of the population is British-Bangladeshi. She is 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.
