Nature & Life in Action:
Moving from Climate Crisis to Solutions
Dhaka, Bangladesh— To tackle the escalating climate emergency, Bangladesh must shift from reactive measures to evidence-based, data-driven actions. This was the central theme of the high-level dialogue titled
“Bangladesh in Climate Emergency: Evidence-Based Pathways for Climate Action,”
organized by
"Oxfam in Bangladesh" and its partners, with support from the Australian Government.
The event brought together senior policy experts and practitioners to explore innovative pathways for ecosystem restoration and climate finance.
Md. Julfiker Ali Haider, President of the Youth Unit of
"Save The Nature & Life", actively participated in the dialogue, representing the voice of the drought-prone Barind region.
📌" Focus: Addressing the Drought Crisis in Rajshahi"
During the sessions, Md. Julfiker Ali Haider highlighted the severe challenges faced by Rajshahi, identifying it as one of the top three drought "hotspots" in the country. He emphasized several critical points:
Strategic Reforestation:
He raised the vital question of which specific tree species are best suited for Rajshahi’s arid climate to maintain ecological balance and protect the falling groundwater table.
Empowering Farmers:
He sought expert solutions on how to improve agricultural practices for local farmers, focusing on drought-resilient crops and water-efficient irrigation methods.
Oxfam’s Data Initiative:
He welcomed Oxfam’s initiative to launch a dashboard that guides people on "where, when, and what to plant", noting that such evidence-based tools are essential for youth-led climate action.
"Youth Leadership & Unity"
Seeing so many familiar young faces and fellow activists coming together at today’s program was truly inspiring. Their collective energy proves that the youth are no longer just spectators but leaders in the fight against climate change.
"Save The Nature & Life" remains committed to bridging the gap between expert data and grassroots action. By empowering our farmers and planting the right trees in the right places, we can build a resilient future for our region.
