Lack of commitment of our political parties
The major political parties of Bangladesh have failed to hold any significant political programme that could influence the participants in the UN climate conference in Durban. Perhaps the leaders of both the parties were busy preparing notes to blame each other on this issue.
The Kyoto protocol signed in 1997 was the first legally binding emission control agreement which is set to expire in 2012.
We hope our political parties would be united to express their concern over the non-committal approach and the inactions of the developed countries because we are the innocent victims of climate change.
