Foreign Minister Dr AK Abdul Momen has urged the international community to take collective action to mainstream the issue of climate-induced migration in climate change negotiations, reports BSS.
Momen stressed this point while delivering his welcome remarks at an event titled 'Human Mobility in the Context of Climate Change: Building a Positive Narrative on Migration and Climate Action' held on the sidelines of COP 27 in Sharm El-Sheikh in Egypt on Monday.
The minister called on the G7 to mobilize new and additional resources towards the Global Shield, going beyond the financing commitments made under the Paris Agreement.
"We must work on fostering multi-stakeholder partnerships with open, transparent and collaborative approaches to tackling complex climate challenges affecting our deltas and coastal areas," he said.
Dr Momen also reiterated Bangladesh's commitment to work together with the Netherlands and other deltaic countries within the framework of the International Delta Coalition.
He also thanked the Dutch government for the technical assistance in developing the Bangladesh Delta Plan 2100.
The event jointly organised by the Government of Bangladesh, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) and the Climate Vulnerable Forum (CVF), brought together high-level representatives from State Party delegations, development partners, international organizations, academia, and civil societies to explore issues of human mobility triggered by climate change impacts.
Bangladesh Permanent Representative to the UN Ambassador Md Abdul Muhith delivered the closing remarks.
