Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina departed for Switzerland on Tuesday to participate in the World Climate Conference-3. She flew on a regular flight of Biman Bangladesh Airlines bound for London at 8:45am, accompanied by Foreign Minister Dipu Moni, State Minister for Environment Hassan Mahmud, Press Secretary Abul Kalam Azad, and daughter Saima Wazed Putul. The delegation was bid farewell by cabinet ministers, three military chiefs, and other high officials at Zia International Airport. Mahmud stated to reporters in the VIP Lounge that Bangladesh would be seeking compensation from countries accountable for climate change. The theme of the five-day summit, which began on Monday and is organized by the World Meteorological Organization, is 'Better Climate Information for Better Future'. The summit, chaired by Bangladesh, will continue until September 4. Bangladesh leads the 50-member LDC Group, composed of countries most at risk from the adverse effects of climate change, largely due to emissions from developed nations.
