City Desk :

Chattogram Hill Tracts (CHT) Affairs Adviser Supradip Chakma on Monday urged collective and effective actions to tackle the pressing challenges of the Hindu Kush Himalaya (HKH) region, including climate change, biodiversity loss and air pollution.

Speaking at the inaugural session of the HKH Parliamentarians’ Meet 2025, he emphasised the importance of solidarity in addressing these common crises, reports UNB.

“Let’s be together and try to see that we can bring a change for the region, for our whole Himalayan community and for the rest of the world,” he said while delivering his speech.
The CHT Affairs Adviser said it is the prime time to know their situation – what is going on here in terms of climate change, biodiversity and all and its impacts.

He referred to what Chief Adviser Prof Muhammad Yunus was telling them while observing the World Environment Day and said, “Perhaps each and every individual we are criminal to the environment and we are criminalising each and everybody that include our future generation.”
The Adviser urged participants to make the most of the event, noting that policymakers should meet more frequently to act on the issues being raised and discussed.
