BNP Acting Chairman Tarique Rahman has pledged to build a greener and more sustainable Bangladesh, stressing the importance of protecting both the environment and planned urbanization.
In a post on his verified Facebook page marking World Habitat Day on Sunda, he said: “I pledge that BNP government will protect our habitat and preserve our future. Together, let’s build a greener, more sustainable Bangladesh.”
He said the current challenges of unplanned urban growth and climate risks call for bold and immediate action.
Reiterating the BNP’s 31-Point Plan as a roadmap to address these issues, Tarique highlighted two key commitments — Point 29: Climate change and environmental protection and Point 31: Planned, balanced urbanisation and decentralisation.
Tarique also announced plans for a National Green Mission, which would include planting 250 million trees, restoring rivers, turning waste into resources, modernising agriculture, investing in renewable energy, and expanding the blue economy to create jobs for young people.
