Rizvi noted that Prime Minister Tarique Rahman outlined visionary climate initiatives—including a nationwide 250-million tree planting campaign, a five-year canal-digging program, and a rapid transition toward renewable energy—within his election manifesto long before assuming office. He stressed that implementation began on day one of the administration. Commenting on the COP-31 summit, Rizvi voiced optimism that the Prime Minister's genuine domestic climate commitments will allow Bangladesh to decisively claim its fair share of global climate financing and carbon mitigation assistance from international partners.
