The Australian government has reaffirmed its commitment to supporting Bangladesh’s overall development, including advancing climate justice, addressing crises, and ensuring women's rights.
Australia’s Ambassador for Climate Change Kristin Tilley assured continued cooperation during a bilateral meeting held on Thursday (20 February) at ActionAid Bangladesh's central office in Gulshan.
Australian High Commissioner to Bangladesh, Susan Ryle, and ActionAid Bangladesh Country Director, Farah Kabir, were also present.
Kristin Tilley, Australia's Climate Change Envoy, stressed the importance of collective efforts by both government and non-government organisations in ensuring climate justice.
Australian High Commissioner to Bangladesh, Susan Ryle, highlighted the importance of empowering women and young people in amplifying the voices of marginalised communities on a global platform.
"Australia and Bangladesh share a long-standing partnership, and we are both committed to the pursuit of climate justice. We are determined to work for the marginalised communities of Bangladesh, especially those most vulnerable to climate change. Our focus is on improving the livelihoods and leadership development of women and young people, as their voices are the most critical in shaping a just and sustainable future," she remarked.
