This is the first time that all the major Heads of State and Government have reached the summit at the beginning of the conference. They expressed their positive expectations and high hopes for the agreement and the need for success. This had created an atmosphere of positive results. In the corridors that followed the agreement, developed countries hoped for funds from rich or rapidly developing countries. Therefore, who will receive funds has not been specified. Future follow-up has therefore been left to future negotiations. The high-level ministerial meeting (supported by experts and bureaucrats) in recent days involved policymakers and covered many of their respective concerns and issues. There were ”tricks and compromises”, but an agreement and a positive result were assured, although without the many details and peculiarities. In addition, in other sections, the agreement included issues of poverty reduction, universal access to sustainable energy for developing countries, and greater participation of all partners. The agreement also included all stakeholders of the Party and non-party actors with texts such as ”Agreement to maintain and promote regional and international cooperation to strengthen and strengthen the more ambitious climate action of all Parties and non-contractual stakeholders, including civil society, the private sector, financial institutions, cities and other subnational authorities, local communities and indigenous peoples. mobilize”.
The Paris Agreement is becoming a variety of activities in many areas such as finance, mitigation, adaptation, capacity building, disaster management, governance, planning monitoring and evaluation, agriculture and food, energy, water, forestry, infrastructure, health, fisheries, coastal services, transport, land, local government, human rights, gender mainstreaming, regional cooperation, in order to: to name a few, head in. This will require a large amount of expertise, as well as a specific institution and dedicated human resources. Many of these issues will be long-term activities (5 to 15 years and more), while initially some short-term activities (1 to 2 years) could emerge as an extension of the Paris Agreement. So there was a lot of skepticism about whether Paris would get a deal. If there was no agreement in Paris, the planet was destined to experience temperatures of more than 3 degrees Celsius by 2100. This would call into question planetary human civilizations, their food, water and livelihoods, and increase the likelihood of a drastic reduction in the number of species and greater ocean acidification. All countries would experience a dramatic increase in extreme environmental conditions and would also threaten poverty reduction opportunities and emerging SDGs. The twenty-first Conference of the Parties or CoP21 to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) ended when the world`s 195 member countries accepted the ”Paris Agreement” after a long meeting at Le Bourget in Paris from 29 November to 11 December 2015. When the hammer fell during the last and long session of CoP21, all countries and citizens of the world breathed a sigh of relief. Because COP21 came in the context of two major failures – the Kyoto Protocol (PC) and CoP15 in Copenhagen in 2009, on which the parties concerned could not reach an agreement.
This has increased the risks of a rapid increase in climate change, as evidenced by the acceleration of extreme weather events around the world. In 1997, the CP agreed on a 5% reduction in greenhouse gases (GHGs) with the 1990 baseline by industrialized countries. Unfortunately, the CP also fell into total failure because, led by the United States, several other major emitters, including Russia, Canada, Japan, and Australia, withdrew from the CCP, leading to the collapse of the only global agreement to reduce greenhouse gases. Since the early implementation of the KP, the three widely announced Kyoto instruments and the emergence of a carbon market have led to a drastic and catastrophic collapse. Ambitious and focusedThe objective of the innovation was to give the agreement an ambitious and focused aspect. Here, key policymakers, leveraging science and a sense of urgency, highlighted the key issues of rapid mitigation needs for all countries. ”For the first time. We can prioritize mitigation measures that would bring the greatest possible benefit. And when COP26 finally takes place next year, it should also be a forum to address the issue of supporting victims of loss and damage caused by global warming. Failure to do so can lead to the failure of the COP. Tanvir Ahmed: Every country is unique. Like other countries, we need to think about sources of air pollution from a variety of sources – homes, industries, vehicles and landfills.
In Bangladesh, the main sources of local air pollution are traditional stoves, traditional brick kilns, rice parboiling units, open-air incineration of municipal waste and transport vehicles, especially those powered by diesel. These are the concerns in Bangladesh, but not necessarily in other countries. In order to make the inventory more relevant at the national level, it is therefore important to adapt the modelling work according to local emission sources. We take other steps to use these links. SEI`s Integrated Climate and Development Planning Initiative seeks to broaden the range of sustainability implications of emission pathways that can be quantitatively assessed using instruments such as LEAP. The overall objective of this initiative is to give planners involved in the development of climate protection the opportunity to understand the widest possible range of the consequences of different policies and measures. Leap will continue to be updated to broaden the range of aspects of sustainable development that can be assessed as part of modelling. Certainly, there is enormous goodwill for Bangladesh because of Bangladesh`s intense and diverse vulnerabilities, its efforts during and outside the COP process, its leadership and innovative role in various governmental and non-governmental groups, its research and scientific results, as well as its institutional mechanisms and actions in the country. Bangladesh has been mentioned in several seminars as ”Adaptation Capital of the World”. Its mitigation measures, especially for millions of poor households equipped with solar home systems, have also been well recognized. Bangladesh`s leadership in adaptation, particularly community adaptation, is known to many participating delegates, practitioners and academics. These have been shown in various CoP21 forums.
This article examines research in Bangladesh that assessed local air pollution and the impact of measures to mitigate global climate change on human health. The study, produced by a team of researchers from sei, Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology, The University of Colorado, Duke University, George Washington University and the United Nations Environment Programme, is the first to quantify the public health benefits of improved air quality that Bangladesh could achieve by implementing its Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) to the goals of the the Paris Agreement. The experience in Bangladesh provides an example of how countries can do the same. As early as December 2015, vulnerable developing countries, which I represent, vehemently advocated a long-term temperature target of 1.5 degrees Celsius. Our appeal was met with initial resistance from many industrialized countries, which made the final inclusion of the goal in the Paris Agreement a great success for us. LEAP has been widely and successfully used for many years for energy planning and greenhouse gas reduction. The work being done in Bangladesh seems to go even further. What do you mean? Responding to the Paris Agreement, the SDGs and sustainable development As we enter the world of the SDGs, the demand will be huge both for the Ministry of Environment and Forests and for a future Ministry of Climate Change and of paramount importance for Bangladesh`s sustainable development.
The Paris Agreement, no matter how weak, is likely to generate significant new activities and funding. .
