The cabinet approved the name change of the ministry during a meeting on Monday at the Secretariat, 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. 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 at the 4th meeting of the National Environment Committee on August 6, 2017. After a notification signed by the president of Bangladesh is issued, the new name will become effective. Bangladesh is considered one of the countries most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, with global warming posing a significant challenge. Researchers warn that if global warming continues, a substantial amount of land could be submerged by water, potentially displacing around 2 billion people worldwide. Since assuming office in 2009, the Awami League government has established two distinct funds to address climate change issues. The names of the funds are Bangladesh Climate Change Trust (BCCT) and Bangladesh Climate Change Resilience Fund (BCCRF).
