$230bn needed: PM seeks support from global partners to implement climate adaptation plan
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina today urged the international partners to support Bangladesh’s efforts to implement the National Adaptation Plan for 2023-2050, as USD 230 billion is required towards that end.
“We need 230 billion US dollars for implementing our National Adaptation Plan from both domestic and international resources. Bangladesh continues to seek a 50-50 distribution between adaptation and mitigation from international climate financing,” she said.
The premier was addressing the inaugural ceremony of a global hub on Locally Led Adaptation (LLA) at Foreign Service Academy through a virtual platform from her official residence Ganabhaban.
She opened the global hub to reinforce Bangladesh’s global leadership on LLA, building on the momentum generated during COP27.
