Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Monday urged the Commonwealth to play its crucial role in eradicating poverty and minimising climate vulnerabilities of the underprivileged segment of the population.
“I strongly believe that the Commonwealth can play a pivotal role towards sustainable and nature-based solutions for a prosperous future,” she said while addressing a virtual roundtable of the Asia Regional Commonwealth heads of government.
Prince of Wales Charles Philip Arthur George, the eldest son of Queen Elizabeth II, convened the roundtable.
As a member of the Commonwealth and the Chair of the Climate Vulnerable Forum-CVF, Sheikh Hasina suggested three measures ahead of COP26, including promotion of green and sustainable economic growth worldwide and investing in a circular economy for building back better.
