BNP Acting Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi has described Prime Minister Tarique Rahman as a ‘Green Prime Minister’, citing his initiatives on tree plantation, canal excavation and renewable energy.
Speaking to reporters at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport on Tuesday (November 10), Rizvi said Tarique had pledged to plant 250 million trees and excavate canals over five years even before assuming office.
He said the prime minister began implementing those commitments from his first day in office.
Rizvi said Tarique's participation in the COP31 climate conference was significant amid rising global temperatures. He expressed hope that the conference would help address climate change and ensure Bangladesh receives its fair share of international climate support.
