Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina will aim to bring together countries most impacted by climate change to advocate for climate funds during the upcoming 64th session of the United Nations General Assembly and Climate Summit, according to an official. Foreign Secretary Mohamed Mizarul Quayes stated that Hasina will address climate change issues, engage in discussions with leaders of countries providing UN peacekeeping troops, and participate in other topics during her stay in the US from Sept 21 to Sep 29. Quayes, who will accompany the prime minister's delegation, mentioned that Hasina will attend a meeting on climate change on Sept 22, organized by UN secretary-general Ban Ki-Moon, where she will work towards uniting the most severely affected countries and resolving compensation claims for climate change, particularly seeking compensation for least developed countries as the chair of the LDC Group. Quayes stated that the outcome is reliant on the positions of other nations impacted by global warming. Bangladesh is at the forefront of countries feeling the effects of global warming due to human-generated carbon emissions and is requesting financial and technological aid for adaptation. Developing nations argue that they will be disproportionately affected by climate change despite having minimal responsibility, and wealthy nations must acknowledge their financial obligations. The UN and World Bank have called on affluent nations to assume their moral duties. US President Barack Obama and Sheikh Hasina are expected to participate in a side meeting with nine countries that contribute significantly to UN peacekeeping efforts globally. Bangladesh plays a significant role in peacekeeping missions, with approximately 10,000 personnel from the country involved in various missions worldwide. The United Nations has close to 115,000 troops, police, and civilians deployed in 16 peacekeeping missions across Africa, the Middle East, Cyprus, Kosovo, Western Sahara, and Haiti. However, these missions face challenges such as a lack of personnel and equipment, as well as shortages of helicopters and other essential assets. Foreign Minister Dipu Moni, who is currently in the US, will participate in a ministerial meeting before the general assembly. Moni recently met with World Bank vice president for the South Asia Region, Isabel Guerrero, in Washington DC to discuss the bank's regional plans. On September 17, Dipu Moni had a meeting with US secretary of state Hillary Clinton. Dipu Moni is planning to go back to Bangladesh in early October.
