Prime minister Sheikh Hasina plans 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. Foreign secretary Mohamed Mizarul Quayes stated that Hasina will address climate change issues, engage in discussions with leaders of countries that contribute UN peacekeeping troops, and participate in other topics during her week-long visit to the US, starting on Sep 21. Hasina will attend a meeting on climate change on Sep 22, hosted by UN secretary-general Ban Ki-Moon, where she will aim to unite countries most affected by climate change and address compensation claims. Bangladesh, as the chair of the LDC Group, will seek compensation for the least developed countries. Quayes stated that the outcome relies heavily on the positions of other nations grappling with the effects of global warming. Bangladesh is particularly vulnerable to the consequences of global warming, attributed to human-caused carbon emissions, and is requesting financial and technological aid for adaptation. Less affluent countries argue that they will bear the brunt of climate change impacts despite having the least responsibility, emphasizing the need for wealthy nations to fulfill their financial obligations. The UN and World Bank have called on wealthy nations to acknowledge their moral duty. US President Barack Obama and Sheikh Hasina are expected to participate in a side meeting involving nine countries that contribute significantly to UN peacekeeping efforts worldwide. Bangladesh is a major contributor to peacekeeping missions, with approximately 10,000 personnel participating in various missions globally. The United Nations has a total of nearly 115,000 troops, police, and civilians involved in 16 peacekeeping missions across Africa, the Middle East, Cyprus, Kosovo, Western Sahara, and Haiti. These missions face challenges such as insufficient personnel and equipment, as well as shortages of helicopters and other essential assets. Foreign Minister Dipu Moni, currently in the US, will attend a ministerial meeting before the general assembly. She recently met with World Bank vice president for the South Asia Region, Isabel Guerrero, in Washington DC to discuss regional plans of the bank. Previously, on September 17th, Dipu Moni had a meeting with US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Dipu Moni is expected to go back to Bangladesh in the beginning of October.
