Speaking at a discussion called "Leaders Dialogue: High Level Political Forum-From Vision to Action" at the UN Headquarters in New York on Tuesday, the Prime Minister emphasized the importance of world leaders recognizing and addressing key issues with visionary leadership and commitment to achieve common goals for the well-being of our planet. She stressed the necessity of decisions that prioritize the welfare of all individuals and species to ensure a sustainable world for future generations. Bangladesh, she explained, must focus on economic, social, and environmental pillars of sustainable development, particularly in light of the country's vulnerability to climate change. The Prime Minister highlighted the impact of global warming on Bangladesh, citing projections of rising sea levels and massive displacement of population due to climate-related factors. Bangladesh is actively engaged in the Open Working Group for Sustainable Development and has submitted nationally agreed targets for the Post-2015 Development Agenda to the UN. She called on the Forum to consider the unique needs of Least Developed Countries (LDCs), Landlocked Developing Countries (LLDCs), and Small Island Developing States (SIDS) in achieving sustainable development goals, as these countries are currently falling behind in meeting Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). She mentioned that in their experience, both expectations and commitments are crucial for sustainable development. Prime Minister Hasina highlighted Bangladesh's success in achieving some MDGs through efficient resource use, local leadership, indigenous capabilities, and innovations. She emphasized the importance of developed nations delivering on their pledge to provide 0.7 percent of GNP as Official Development Assistance and 0.2 percent of GNP as ODA for the LDCs, as well as transferring technologies to deprived groups. Hasina also noted that rapid advancements in science and technology are driving socioeconomic progress but also presenting challenges. She stated that the abundance of natural and technological resources presents the Forum with the opportunity to make the right choices in addressing the new challenges of our time.
