Climate justice activists held a press briefing on 20th December, 2023 titled ‘The 28th Conference of the Parties: Expectations vs Achievements’ at the National Press Club’.
The event was moderated by Md Shamsuddoha, Chief Executive of the Center for Participatory Research and Development (CPRD).
CPRD chief executive Md Shamsuddoha said that they claimed a proper definition and acknowledgement of climate finance and wanted to set it on a need, emergency and obligatory basis, but a fund was formulated under COP which would be regulated by the World Bank for first 4 years.
He urged the countries to enhance efforts of phasing down unabated coal-based electricity generation and transition away of fossil fuels, but no specific timeline, however, was set to meet these targets.
Juliet Keya Malakar, executive director of the Christian Commission for Development in Bangladesh (CCDB), said that this COP bore the legacy of previous COP events that significantly lacked remarkable changes and actions required for the climate-vulnerable community.
She also emphasized ensuring accountability within our country’s mechanism to confirm that climate funds are used optimally for the climate victims.
