Transparency International Bangladesh (TIB) placed 13-point strategies, including proper utilization of land and water resources, at a seminar on combined combat against the adversities of global climate change.
Dr Iftekaruzzaman, Executive Director of TIB, placed the pleas at the seminar held at the CIRDAP auditorium in the city Saturday marking the World Earth Day.
Bangladesh is on top of the list of calamity-prone countries of the world due to the climate change worldwide. “The adverse impacts of climate change are gradually being noticed in the country,” Iftekar said, adding that the politicians and the bureaucrats are capturing khas lands, reservoirs of the country.
Natural calamities-floods, droughts, cyclones-have been on the rise in the country due to climate change. “So, the coastal people are being displaced and the drinking water of the coastal areas is becoming undrinkable for salinity invasion.”
The 13 remedies include-to ensure the citizens’ participation in implementing the projects on land and water resources, to prioritize sustainable development of the natural resources, including the Sundarbans, to stop deforestation and save the forests, implement the rules and regulations of industrial waste-management passages, realize big amounts of money as fines from the water polluters.
TIB outreach and communication director Rizwan-un-Alam and climate finance government project co-coordinator Zakir Hossain were present at the function.
Earlier in the morning, TIB formed a human chain in front of the National Press Club in campaign for environmental protection marking the World Earth Day-2011.
