expects the UK to promote the interests and priorities of climate vulnerable
countries to international platforms.

her at her official residence Ganobhaban.

situation, its global adverse impacts, mitigation and Climate Change Fund and

affected like some other countries across the globe due to climate change even
though the carbon emission of these countries are very negligible. "We'll
be affected massively," she said.

increase renewable energy use in mitigating the demand for power.
She said there are currently some 5.8 million solar power
connections in Bangladesh.

as a party are engaged in massive tree plantation to improve the environment of
the country.

Prime Minister said the government has adopted various measures to run the
economy apart from containing the coronavirus infection although Bangladesh is
a densely populated country.

Minister to attend the COP-26 to be held in November next in Glasgow.

Vulnerable Forum (CVF).
Regarding the vaccination programme, he said the vaccination
drive is going on well in the United Kingdom.
