Appraisal meeting on multi-donor fund on climate change today

The government sits today for a meeting with donors and lenders to appraise the means for creating an already proposed multi-donor trust fund to help Bangladesh overcome or mitigate the adverse effects of climate change, according to officials concerned. They say the meeting is also likely to make preparations for the planned high-profile conference on the effects of climate change in London in September to influence international opinion in favour of Bangladesh, which is considered one of the most vulnerable countries.
