STOP CARBON EMISSION: PROMISES FIVE COUNTRIES

Natural Forest

Carbon emission from burning fossil fuel is mainly responsible for recent global warming. Bangladesh, a least developed country where more than 60% people are in village areas, releases a remarkable amount of carbon in daily basis by using cow dung and fuel wood to cook their foods. Carbon emission by burning fuel causes the air pollution inside their houses. Considering the category of air pollution inside the houses, Bangladesh ranking 10th of the world. To overcome carbon emission problem, five countries such as United States, Canada, Mexico, Sweden and Bangladesh agree to work together after constructive discussion in an international conference titled “Air Pollution inside the Houses” held in Bangladesh. As a part of an international cooperation, Sweden agrees to help Bangladesh by financially and it is about 3,955,174 US Dollar. This amount mainly goes for preparing new cooking stoves those can produce less smoke and control air pollution, and distribute to the rural remote areas. Bangladesh is now becoming a most vulnerable country of the world due to climate change and sea level rise. Reduction of carbon emission and increase the forest areas are the best solution to mitigate climate change during the upcoming years. Different countries already take effective initiatives in recent years to reduce carbon emissions where Sweden decided to reduce their carbon emission about 40% within 2030; on the other hand, Australian government imposes high taxes for the carbon emitting industries there. Consequently, Bangladesh creates more attention towards the developed countries for financial and technical supports to control carbon emission and air pollution during the last few decades.
