DHAKA, Sept. 15 (Xinhua) -- Her all-out efforts quickly caught the attention of the Bangladesh people who have felt the pinch of climate change over the last
years.
A quiet revolution is sweeping through Bangladesh's coastal areas which are frequently affected by various climate change induced disasters.
She has taken up an action plan along with measures such as strengthening river embankments, building emergency cyclone shelters, and developing world
class community-based early warning systems which have significantly reduced the
loss of life and livelihoods and property damage caused by extreme weather
conditions.
To make Bangladesh Hydro Flask Hydration 21 Oz Standard Mouth Bleu Pas Cher , the largest delta in the world with low- lying flood plains, less vulnerable to natural
disasters, she also attached special priority to increasing food production;
diversifying crops to make them adaptable to the changing environment and set up
more silos.
For millions of climate victims in Bangladesh, two-thirds of its territory lies in the Ganges-Brahmaputra-Meghna Delta, her relentless efforts now offer
climate resilient pathways.
Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina was declared on Monday as one of the winners of the United Nations' highest environmental accolade Hydro Flask Hydration 21 Oz Standard Mouth W Sport Cap Verte Pas Cher , in recognition of her far-reaching initiatives to address climate change in
Bangladesh, one of the world's most populated countries.
"Serving as Prime Minister of Bangladesh one of the world's least-developed countries - Sheikh Hasina has proven that investing in climate change is
conducive to achieving social and economic development," UN Environment Program
(UNEP) said in a statement.
The annual Champions of the Earth award is the highest environmental award that the United Nations can confer upon outstanding individuals and
organizations. Previous laureates range from leaders of nations to grassroots
activists, whose leadership and actions drive the world ever closer to its
aspirations of environmental sustainability and a life of dignity for all.
The award in the Policy Leadership category, which the prime minister will accept at a ceremony in New York on Sept. 27 Hydro Flask Hydration 24 Oz Standard Mouth Blanche Pas Cher , recognizes Bangladesh's first-off-the-block initiatives under Hasina's government to
prepare the ecologically fragile country for the challenges it faces from
climate change.
With a population of more than 159 million, UNEP said Bangladesh is also one of the most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change.
Cyclones, floods and droughts have long been a part of the country's history, but they have intensified in recent years.
"Through a number of forward-looking policy initiatives and investments, Bangladesh has placed confronting the challenge of climate change at the core of
its development. These initiatives Hydro Flask Hydration 24 Oz Standard Mouth Rose Pas Cher , from climate change adaptation measures to ecosystem preservation legislation, mean that
current and future generations of Bangladeshis are better prepared to address
climate change risks and reverse the impacts of environmental degradation," said
UNEP Executive Director Achim Steiner.
The award cites the progressive Bangladesh Climate Change Strategy and Action Plan of 2009, which made Bangladesh the first developing country to frame such a
coordinated action plan. Bangladesh is also the first country to set up its own
Climate Change Trust Fund supported by nearly 300 million U.S. dollars of
domestic resources from 2009-2012.
The government currently earmarks 6-7 percent of its annual budget - some 1 billion U.S. dollars - on climate change adaptation, with only 25 percent of
this coming from international donors.
A Climate Change Fiscal Framework is also in the works to enable the government to track the demand and supply of climate change funds. For the first
time Hydro Flask Hydration 24 Oz Standard Mouth Jaune Pas Cher , climate change is no longer merely an additional demand, it is central to the country's
development prospects.
In addition, under her leadership, the Bangladesh Constitution was amended in 2011 to include a constitutional directive to the State to protect the
environment and natural resources for current and future generations.
Prioritized in the constitution along with wetlands and wildlife, the forestry policies initiative by prime minister Hasina has provided a natural
barrier from some extreme weather events and the country's forests cover has
increased by almost 10 percent.
Moving beyond physical and capital investment in climate change adaptation Hydro Flask Hydration 24 Oz Standard Mouth Rouge Pas Cher , the government is also implementing a wide range of measures to help citizens
prepare for an increasingly unpredictable future. These include new health
services dealing with waterborne diseases linked to increased floods, training
community groups about early warning systems and promoting climate- friendly
agricultural technologies.
As part of climate change mitigation, Hasina's government is giving high priority to clean and renewable.
