The information minister made the call while speaking at the inaugural session of ‘Green Energy Olympiad 2026’ organized by Coastal Livelihood and Environmental Action Network (CLEAN) at CIRDAP auditorium in the capital this morning.

Highlighting the importance of the Green Energy Olympiad, the information minister said the interest of the youth in renewable energy and environmental protection is a big force on the path to building a sustainable Bangladesh.
