Shaikh Muhammad Mehedi Ahsan, Country Representative of IUCN Bangladesh, stated that international financial support for climate change in Bangladesh remains negligible. Developed countries had committed to providing $100 billion annually by 2020, but this target has not been met. Furthermore, climate finance is often merged with official development assistance (ODA) rather than being additional.

Speaking at a seminar organized by the Bangladesh Institute of International and Strategic Studies (BIISS), Ahsan highlighted the need for Bangladesh to improve its fiscal space and seek grant-based or concessional climate assistance. Speakers at the seminar emphasized the challenges Bangladesh faces in accessing international climate funds and the strict eligibility criteria for global climate funds like the Green Climate Fund (GCF) and the Least Developed Countries Fund (LDCF).

Despite its vulnerability to climate change, Bangladesh continues to integrate climate change into its national policies, focusing on environmental conservation and adaptation efforts.
