UN Conference on Climate Change in Pojnan, Poland and our programme in Bangladesh

Dear Colleagues:

As a conscious citizen of the civilized world you must be aware of the imminent disastrous effect of the climate change. The great disaster is advancing fast toward many countries of the world and Bangladesh is the riskiest of them. The world leaders are seriously thinking of it and meeting to reach a concensus to drastically reduce the carbon emission. As a part of their concern, the Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP 14) has begun in Pojnan in Poland on 1 December and will continue till 12 December 2008.

The concerned people throughout the world has been demonstrating raising their voices against the polluter and asking them to drastically reduce the carbon emission to save the earth from the wrath of the nature. SUNDER JIBAN together with the biggest forum of environmentalists and environmental organizations, The Bangladesh Paribesh Andolan (BAPA) has also organized a rally yesterday in Dhaka to express their soliderity with the world people and press home their demand to the developed nations to reduce the carbon emission immediately to a safer level. Many of the local newspapers have covered the news widely.

I urge all of you to raise your voices also to reduce the carbon emission and be environment friendly. Please stand by our side to save us from the most disastrous effect of climate change which will make 40 million people of Bangladesh homeless maybe by 2030-2040. The country will face severe food crisis, its people will be suffering from malnutrition, waterborne diseases and will be compelled to migrate to other countries. In order to save them from the heaviest calamities, all people from around the world should press the developed nations to reduce the carbon emission drastically and to come forward to help the people of Bangladesh and others to cope up with the situation.

Regards,

Siraj
