💬 “Young people will live with the consequences of today’s decisions and will soon be in positions to shape the future.”
🇩🇪 German Ambassador to Bangladesh, Dr Rüdiger Lotz, stated the importance of a whole-of-society approach at the University Dialogue on People-led LT-LEDS (Long-Term Low Emission Development Strategy): Bangladesh’s Low Carbon Future at Shahjalal University of Science and Technology (SUST) in Sylhet.
Around 220 students and young people came together to explore how technology, innovation, data, and youth-led solutions can help build a low-carbon and climate-resilient Bangladesh.
The dialogue, organised by Youth for NDCs with support from the German Embassy Dhaka highlighted the importance of bringing young people, universities, communities, businesses and policymakers into the conversation on Bangladesh’s long-term development pathway. 🌍✨
