Adviser of the interim government on the environment, forest and climate change Syeda Rizwana Hasan on Wednesday asked all concerned to ensure proper utilization of climate fund and check any misuse.

“There is no scope of misappropriation of the money disbursed for Bangladesh Climate Change Trust Fund (BCCTF),” she said while addressing a function here today.

The programme titled- “International Environment Conference 2024 was arranged under the auspices of “Sabuj Prithibi”, a local organization working on environment issue.

The interim government has so far approved seven projects from the BCCTF according to new guideline, Rizwana said, hoping that there would be no allegation of swindling money from the projects.

She said the government is not giving approval for setting up new brick kiln fields as it has taken decision to use blocks in various projects instead of bricks.

Social forestation would be promoted in the reserve forests, she said adding that accrued profits of the social forestry would be distributed among the beneficiaries.

However, she reminded that the primary duty of the forest department was to protect natural forests, not distributing funds.

Rizwana stressed on planting indigenous species of trees instead of planting eucalyptus and acacia in the forestation projects.
