“The industrialised nations will have to play the key role because the G20 countries account for 80 per cent of carbon emission. Bangladesh has demanded 50 per cent of the fund to be spent on adaptation and the rest on cutting emissions. Bangladesh accounts for 0.47 per cent of global greenhouse emissions, and it needs more renewable energy to cut the rate further, the foreign minister said. Bangladesh expects the COP26 summit to adopt a ‘Dhaka-Glasgow Declaration’ calling for the prevention of climate change, adaptation to its effects and funds. Besides the CVF countries, leaders of the UK and other countries will join the dialogue.
