She spoke at a discussion at the UN Headquarters in New York on Tuesday titled "Leaders Dialogue: High Level Political Forum-From Vision to Action." The Prime Minister emphasized the importance of world leaders recognizing key issues and providing visionary leadership and commitment to achieve common goals for the sustainability of the world. She stressed the need for decisions that prioritize the welfare of all human beings and encompass all living species to ensure a sustainable world for future generations. Bangladesh, she said, must focus on the three pillars of sustainable development - economic, social, and environmental - with adaptation and mitigation programs. Climate change is a major concern for Bangladesh, given its vulnerability to rising sea levels due to global warming. The country 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. The Prime Minister also highlighted the importance of the Forum in recognizing the special needs of Least Developed Countries (LDCs), Landlocked Developing Countries (LLDCs), and Small Island Developing States (SIDS) in achieving sustainable development goals. Many countries in these groups are struggling to meet various Millennium Development Goals. The speaker emphasized the importance of both expectations and commitments for sustainable development, citing Bangladesh as an example of success due to efficient resource use and local leadership. The delivery of promised assistance from developed nations, technology transfer, and advancements in science and technology were also highlighted as crucial for development. The speaker acknowledged the challenges posed by a rapidly changing world but emphasized the opportunities for making the right choices in response.
