Muhammad Yunus: “Your dreams are our dreams”
In Bangladesh, Muhammad Yunus delivered his first “Address to the Nation” as a government statement.
Bangladesh’s new hopeful emphasised: “Your dreams are our dreams…We want to build Bangladesh so that the people are the real source of power in this country…Today’s generation is much more aware than the previous one. They are not only aware of the changes that are taking place in different parts of the world, but are also leading by example. The development they envision is sustainable and environmentally friendly. They understand that development must not destroy nature. GDP alone cannot be the measure of a country’s development. Development that destroys and pollutes rivers, canals, mountains, forests, soil and air is not sustainable in the long term. Our government’s position is in line with environmentalists’ opposition to fossil fuels. There is no alternative to reducing carbon emissions to zero to prevent climate change and leave a healthy world for future generations. Our government will prioritise the environment and climate action. The youth will participate in this work.”
This hopeful and exemplary speech for all environmental and climate friends will also be the benchmark for other governments in the future.
