Kyoto protocol, Bali plan buried thru' Durban confce
Speakers tell press conference
Speakers at a press conference yesterday said the most vulnerable countries should not rely on rich and rising economic nations for negotiation and discussion over the climate change issues as they are largely concerned over their own interests.
The conference titled 'Durban Reality: What Next' organised by some green organisations was held at the Jatiya Press Club in the city, said a press release.
They said the Kyoto protocol and Bali action plan were buried through the Durban conference.
Rich and rising economic countries has gained their interests through omitting 'legal binding, 'historical responsibility' and 'common but differentiated responsibility' at the conference, they added.
Leaders of Bangladesh Paribesh Andolon (Bapa), Bangladesh Indigenous Peoples' Network on Climate Change and Bio-diversity, Climate Change Development Forum, Campaign for Sustainable Rural Livelihood, Equity and Justice Working Group Bangladesh and Network on Climate Change Bangladesh addressed the event.
