The prime minister emphasized the importance of governments not only fulfilling their national commitments under the Paris Agreement but also increasing their ambitions during her speech at the Climate Vulnerable Leaders' Event. She highlighted the need for the establishment of climate justice for the benefit of the planet and called for major economies, MDBs, and IFIs to provide more financial support and technology access. Bangladesh is proud to lead the Climate Vulnerable Forum again, representing over one billion people from the world's most vulnerable countries. CVF countries are experiencing significant negative impacts from climate change despite their minimal contribution to global carbon emissions. According to the 2019 Climate Change Vulnerability Index by German Watch, Bangladesh is ranked as the seventh most affected country in the world. The country has been facing recurring floods this monsoon season, leading to extensive damage to crops and displacement of a large population. Additionally, the effects of super cyclone Amphan and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic have worsened the situation, as mentioned by Hasina. The presence of 1.1 million Rohingya refugees from Myanmar in Cox's Bazar has also resulted in serious social and environmental consequences. Hasina emphasized the need to focus on rallying support to limit global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees, enhancing funding mechanisms, and highlighting the importance of climate resilience and addressing issues related to 'loss and damage'. In her speech, Hasina stressed the importance of appointing a UN Special Rapporteur on Climate Change and establishing a CVF and V20 Joint Multi-Donor Fund. As chair of the CVF, Hasina introduced the "Midnight Survival Deadline for the Climate" initiative to address the global impact of climate change. She called on leaders of every nation to take action and proposed the establishment of an international day called "Climate Resilience Day" during the Climate Vulnerable Leaders' Event. Hasina warned that the world is close to exceeding the Paris Agreement's 1.5 degrees Centigrade limit and urged G20 countries, responsible for the majority of global emissions, to set clear and concrete Nationally Determined Contributions for reducing their emissions effectively. She warned that if sea levels continue to rise, many island and coastal countries will be submerged, creating millions of climate refugees without anywhere to go. In response, Bangladesh parliament has declared a "Planetary Emergency" and urged the world to act urgently to stop climate change. The prime minister emphasized the importance of meeting the extended NDC deadline on December 31st and ensuring that developing countries have access to at least $100 billion annually for mitigation, adaptation, and disaster response.
