Climate Change

’Realise compensation from rich states

Staff Correspondent
Speakers at a programme yesterday demanded reduction in emissions of greenhouse gas and carbon dioxide as well as compensation from the developed countries.
Countries like Bangladesh are expecting much from the Copenhagen conference with a high hope that it would bring something good to them, which are the most vulnerable ones to the impacts of climate change.
The speakers said this at the programme where a poster signed by hundred of noted personalities across the country was put on display to raise their voice as well as demands regarding climate change.
The programme, held on the National Museum premises in the city, was organised by Youth in Action on Climate (YAC) with an aim to draw the attention of international leaders taking part in the conference in Denmark.
The balanced climate is needed to reduce the vulnerability of the planet, the speakers
noted.
Dr Syed Anwar Hossain, Syed Abul Maksud, Kazi Md Sheesh, Sharifuzzaman Sharif, Arif Hossain and Hirak Sardar delivered their speeches expressing solidarity with the programme.
Persons who signed the poster include Binod Bihari Chowdhury, Prof Serajul Islam Chowdhury, Justice Ghulam Rabbani, Dr Mohammed Farashuddin, Prof Muzaffer Ahmad, Saber Hossain Chowdhury, Fazle Hossain Badsha, Rumana Mahmud, Abdullah Al Noman, Jaglul Ahmed Chowdhury, Hasan Azizul Haque, Golam ArifTipu, Dr Abu Yousuf Alam, Dr Sanjay Kumar Adhikari, Amanullah Ahmed, Md All, A Momin Chowdhury, Shirin Akhter, Prof Mesbah Kamal and Faiz Ahmed.
Students from different schools, colleges and universities took part in the event.
Nirapod Dharitri Andolon also organised a daylong seminar, open debate and documentary screening yesterday centring the expectations from
the Copenhagen conference at Jahangimagar University.
Context of the conference, its rationale and the dual ideologies of tile developed countries were discussed at the programme where Prof Anu Mohammad spoke as the chief guest while Dr Towhidul Islam of the department of Geography and Environment read out a keynote paper.
Prof Anu said, “There are loopholes in the global development model and it is to think whether the conference organised under the purview of those models would be effective for us."
If the climate change victim countries are funded under the management and control of World Bank -or the patronising bodies of the developed countries, the victim counties would be benefited little.
