- As Bangladesh prepares to attend the 31st United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP31) in Antalya, Türkiye, from November 9 to 20, civil society organisations, policymakers and researchers are calling for climate justice, grant-based finance and stronger accountability in climate governance.
- Three sets of recommendations — a position paper by the Climate Justice Alliance–Bangladesh (CJA-B), a national dialogue involving 33 organisations and a policy brief by Transparency International Bangladesh (TIB) — highlight the need for greater international support and improved domestic oversight.
- Although developed countries reported providing $137 billion in climate finance in 2024, TIB, citing Oxfam, says the actual value may be only $33–45 billion after accounting for double-counting and the relabelling of existing development assistance.
