The people and ecosystems of Bangladesh face many of the most devastating
consequences of climate change and sea level rise – at the same time as
international financial institutions such as the Asian Development Bank continue
to finance projects such as the Phulbari Coal project that directly contribute
to climate change and threaten the environmental health human rights of
developing communities.
This
national speaking tour aims to raise awareness of the unequal impacts of climate
change and to voice the urgent need for Australia to support development
projects that are socially and environmentally just, rather than
destructive.
Speakers:
• Prof Anu
Muhammad is a Professor in the Department of Economics at Jahangirnagar
University in Dhaka and has been integral in leading the civil society campaign
against the Phulbari mine.
• And local
Phulbari residents
