Hillary on Copenhagen

US Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton in her recent remarks at the United Nations Convention on Climate Change held in Copenhagen, Denmark has very critically appreciated the consequences of climate change on Bangladesh. She said:
“I am deeply concerned about the consequences for developing countries - from Bangladesh to the Maldives, from the Caribbean to West Africa and the Pacific islands - if we cannot secure the kind of strong operational accord I've described today. We know what the consequences will be for the farmer in Bangladesh or the herder in Africa or the family being battered by hurricanes in Central America. Without that accord, there won't be the kind of joint global action from all of the major economies we all want to see, and the effects in the developing world could be catastrophic. We know what will happen. Rising seas, lost farmland, drought and so much else. Without the accord, the opportunity to mobilize significant resources to assist developing countries with mitigation and adaptation will be lost”.
(ref: US Department of State, 17 December 2009)
The above mentioned remarks by Secretary Hillary Clinton has very aptly revealed the major consequences of climate change on Bangladesh and other developing countries. While sincerely appreciating Secretary Hillary Clinton's concern, I would like to request her to take a personal initiative towards ensuring enough technical and financial support to Bangladesh so that it can face the consequences of climate change and protect agriculture and farmers towards securing food security for its people.
