Bangladesh must urgently shift from reactive responses to evidence-based, data-driven climate action to address its escalating climate emergency, speakers stressed at a dialogue titled “Bangladesh in Climate Emergency: Evidence-Based Pathways for Climate Action” held in Dhaka today.

The event was organised by Oxfam in Bangladesh and its partners, with support from the Australian government, which brought together senior policymakers, development partners, experts, and practitioners to explore innovative pathways for climate action, ecosystem restoration, and climate finance.
