Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina plans to gather countries most severely impacted by climate change to advocate for climate funds during the upcoming 64th session of the United Nations General Assembly and Climate Summit, as stated by an official on Saturday. Hasina will address climate change issues, engage in discussions with leaders of nations that contribute UN peacekeeping troops, and cover various other topics, according to Foreign Secretary Mohamed Mizarul Quayes. She is scheduled to depart on September 21, arrive in the US on September 22, and remain there for a week before returning on September 29. Quayes, who will accompany the prime minister's delegation to the UN assembly, revealed that Hasina will participate in a meeting of 25 heads of state and government on climate change organized by UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon on September 22. At this gathering, she will aim to unite the most severely affected nations and address compensation claims for climate change, specifically advocating for compensation for least developed countries as the chair of the LDC Group. Quayes stated that the outcome depends on how other countries, affected by global warming, respond. Bangladesh is at the forefront of nations dealing with the consequences of global warming, caused by human activities, and is seeking support for adaptation. Developing nations argue that they will bear the brunt of climate change despite having the least impact, calling on wealthy nations to acknowledge their financial obligations. The UN and World Bank have both called on wealthy nations to take on their moral responsibility. US President Barack Obama and Sheikh Hasina are set to participate in a meeting with nine countries that contribute significantly to UN peacekeeping efforts globally. Bangladesh plays a significant role in peacekeeping missions, with approximately 10,000 personnel participating in various missions globally. The United Nations has approximately 115,000 troops, police, and civilians involved in 16 peacekeeping missions across regions such as Africa, the Middle East, Cyprus, Kosovo, Western Sahara, and Haiti. These missions face challenges including a lack of personnel, equipment, helicopters, and other essential resources. Foreign Minister Dipu Moni, currently in the US, will be attending a ministerial meeting before the general assembly. Moni recently met with Isabel Guerrero, the World Bank vice president for the South Asia Region, in Washington DC to discuss the bank's regional plans. Earlier, 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.
