Dhaka, Oct. 19 -- Backstrom, First Secretary and Deputy Head of Development Cooperation at the Embassy of Sweden, has said that meaningful climate action is taking place in Bangladesh, not just at global platforms like the COP summits.

"Not every youth needs to go to COP; the real work is happening here in Bangladesh," she said while addressing a youth-led policy dialogue titled "Youth Voices for Climate Resilience 2025" at Independent University, Bangladesh (IUB) on Sunday.

The event was organized by the CAP-RES (Capacity Strengthening of Multi-actors to Limit Climate Change Impacts and Enhance Resilience) project of the International Centre for Climate Change and Development (ICCCAD) at IUB, with support from the Embassy of Sweden.
