International climate summit is going on in Copenhagen. Bangladesh as well as other developing and poor countries look forward to good initiatives from the summit. But may be we are going to be disappointed. The developed countries never agree with the objection that they are increasing greenhouse gases more than the poor countries. Their inattention brings various negative impacts of climate change particularly on poor countries. Climate change is increasing food insecurity, poverty and development. A recent report from FAO proves the above statement. Bangladesh is a disaster-prone country. Every year we have to pay a lot to face disasters. Climate change not only affects the poor countries but also the developed countries. Because this year most powerful and developed countries like the UK and USA faced natural disasters. The matter deserves quick attention.
