Global center on adaptation to be milestone for int'l partnership: foreign minister

Foreign Minister Dr AK Abdul Momen today said the South Asian Regional Center of Global Center on Adaptation (GCA) in Dhaka will be a milestone for international partnership.

After the devastation of the Covid-19 pandemic, the government will build up climate resilience by transitioning to a green economy and investing in more low-carbon production methods and consumption, the minister said.

"But this requires a strong global commitment and effort," he said adding that Bangladesh is ready to share experiences and best practices regarding adaptation and disaster management.

 Dr Momen said they have already formulated 82-year-long "Delta Plan 2100" which is a test case for all the deltas of the world.

 The foreign minister made the remarks at the inaugural ceremony of the South Asian Regional Center of Global Center on Adaptation (GCA) in Dhaka today.

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina inaugurated the GCA.

During the establishment of GCA South Asian regional office in Dhaka, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was closely associated with other stakeholders including GCA HQ and it would continue to do so in the future, Dr Momen said.
