Bangladesh’s NDC 3.0 – Ambition or Stagnation?
Every climate promise must be stronger than the last. If we keep repeating the same weak pledges, how can we expect a safer future?
In the next Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC 3.0), Bangladesh has the chance to turn ambition into action, proving that climate justice is non-negotiable. But a staggering USD 316 billion finance gap threatens to turn ambition into illusion. Change Initiative calls for a decisive leap in Bangladesh’s upcoming NDC 3.0, urging that subsequent NDCs must become increasingly ambitious not optional, but essential for meeting the Paris Agreement goals. This briefing unpacks how stronger climate actions, just transitions, and bold emission cuts can redefine our development pathway and secure a sustainable future.
