Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has put forward four suggestions at the Leaders Summit on Climate, including cutting global emission, transferring technology and ensuring attainment of the annual target of mobilising $100 billion as committed by developed countries.
The developed countries had made the commitment to mobilise $100 billion, Green Climate Fund, per year by 2020 for climate actions in the developing countries, but only $30 billion could be mobilised so far.
Stressing the need for the fund, Hasina said it should be balanced 50:50 between adaptation and mitigation with special attention to vulnerable communities.
