Facing climate change together

Without the US, one of the leading carbon emitters and a donor in fighting climate change, future possibilities to fight climate change will become more difficult

Just when the president-elect of a superpower threatens to cast a shadow of deep uncertainty over the crucial topic of climate change and its global impacts, the Bangladesh Prime Minister boldly took a step forward by urging world leaders to unite in fighting the perilous threats of climate change. While attending the 22nd session of the Conference of the Parties (COP22) at Morocco’s Marrakech, she urged all countries to join hands to consolidate its stance to fight climate change, in order to make the world a safer place for future generations. Given the rapidly changed negative scenario of the global environment, it’s indeed a time when all nations should come under one umbrella, particularly, the highest carbon emitting nations or superpowers. 
Coupled with the plea to unite, she had also placed two very important issues at the conference – water security and climate-induced migrants, both being directly linked to climate change. However, an important fact surrounding the COPs is that: despite repeated calls from many heads of state the united and collective effort to fight the negative impacts of climate change is still missing. Most importantly, though world leaders successfully created the solid ground by making pledges last year at the historical Paris conference, but now is the time to put those promises into practice and move forward to implement decisions into actions. 
Additionally, in the previous COPs held before, all world leaders have somehow made direct or indirect promises to control the anthropogenic reasons behind climate change but only this time, the world’s leading nation USA has clearly hinted that, its future president may just take strong opposing views. Undeniably, without the participation of the USA, one of the leading carbon emitters and a donor in fighting climate change, future possibilities to fight the environmental menace will become more and more difficult.  
Heads of states can surely make pleas on any conference, but the Bangladesh PM’s call is more than just a formal appeal. Not only Bangladesh is one of the hardest hit victims to the dangerous impacts of climate change, but the threat is also one of the greatest challenges of recent times which should be acknowledged by all world leaders.         
Our PM’s call should be taken with an added gravity by the parties gathered in Morocco. The nations together ought to pull out resources collectively. There is no question that climate change is happening, but the most important point in here is that humans shouldn’t cause it for the worse, affecting other humans. There sure is a way to refrain ourselves from damaging the climate, and the key to it is – be together.
