The climate crisis has been viewed as one of the greatest challenges facing the world today
and one that requires a global response. For Bangladesh, which has borne the brunt of climate
change, the most impactful environmental issue that needs addressing is the crisis of
deforestation. In such circumstances, a bottom-up and an economy-wide approach that
incorporates expansion through trade on clean technologies as a complement to renewable
energy and afforestation measures may offer the best sustainable development.
