How are we going to deal with all the evolving climate issues, and what kind of finance is needed for that?

Greening the economy is a prerequisite for attaining sustainable development goals (SDGs).

The Infrastructure Development Company Ltd (Idcol) today signed an agreement with Green Climate Fund (GCF) to receive $256.5 million to promote private sector investment through large-scale adoption of energy-efficient technologies in the textile and garment sector.

Local organisations are always the first to respond in case of an emergency due to both their proximity and understanding of the local population.

The Green Climate Fund (GCF) was created under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) to channel up to USD 100 billion a year from 2020 onwards from the developed countries to the developing countries to help them tackle climate change through both mitigation and adaptation projects.

Over the last decade in Bangladesh, we have spent almost a billion US dollars on several hundred projects and activities to tackle climate change.
