CPRD’s latest publication, Climate & Development Dialogue: COP29 Issue, offers a powerful reality check. Edited by Md Shamsuddoha, the report critically examines COP29 outcomes through the lens of justice, equity, and frontline experiences.
💰 Finance and Justice
The lead analysis by Md Shamsuddoha, Sheikh Nur Ataya Rabbi, Tanje-Un-Jenat, Elmee Tabassum, and Shanjia Shams reveals that the new $300 billion climate finance goal leans heavily on loans and layered financing, leaving vulnerable nations burdened with debt while major emitters escape responsibility.
🏚️ Ground-Level Realities
In a compelling field study, Tanje-Un-Jenat exposes the harsh reality of climate-induced migration in Barisal’s Bangabandhu Bastuhara Colony, showing how displaced families, especially women, face new cycles of vulnerability in urban slums.
🎙️ Voices from the Frontlines
Perspectives from Dr. Fazle Rabbi Sadeque Ahmed, Dr. Suborna Barua, Ziaul Haque, Md Mahmud Hossain, Shawkat Ali Mirza, Dilruba Haider, and Dr. Sanjay Vashist add depth and enrich the analysis.
🌱 A Call for Course Correction
As the world moves toward COP 30 in Belém, CPRD’s Dialogue urges leaders to place justice at the core, ensure grant-based finance, and amplify the voices of climate-vulnerable communities. This is more than a policy debate; it is about survival and fairness.
