Rohingyas, whose houses burnt down at the zero line camp during a shootout at the Myanmar side of the Ghumdhum-Tumbru border on January 18, are being taken to Cox's Bazar Ukhiya upazila on Sunday. A total of 180 Rohingyas were brought from the Tumbru border area to Ghumdhum union parishad of Naikhongchhari upazila of Bandarban at around 8:30am on Sunday. Among them, 100 Rohingya were taken to the United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR) transit point at Kutupalong at around 12pm. The rest of the Rohingya are scheduled to be transported to Ukhiya's Kutupalong later in the day. In this regard, Refugee Relief and Repatriation Commissioner (RRRC) Mohammed Mizanur Rahman said: "The first phase of transferring the Rohingyas refugees has started after verifying that they were from the zero line camp.”
India’s economy will become carbon neutral by the year 2070, the country’s prime minster has announced at the COP26 climate crisis summit in Glasgow. The target date is two decades beyond what scientists say is needed to avert catastrophic climate impacts. India is the last of the world’s major carbon polluters to announce a net-zero target, with China saying it would reach that goal in 2060, and the United States and the European Union aiming for 2050.
China's carbon emissions are vast and growing, dwarfing those of other countries. Experts agree that without big reductions in China's emissions, the world cannot win the fight against climate change. In 2020, China's President Xi Jinping said his country would aim for its emissions to reach their highest point before 2030 and for carbon neutrality before 2060. His statement has now been confirmed as China's official position ahead of the COP26 global climate summit in Glasgow. But China has not said exactly how these goals will be achieved.

A crucial U.N. conference heard calls on its first day for the world's major economies to keep their promises of financial help to address the climate crisis, while big polluters India and Brazil made new commitments to cut emissions. World leaders, environmental experts and activists all pleaded for decisive action to halt the global warming which threatens the future of the planet at the start of the two-week COP26 summit in the Scottish city of Glasgow on Monday. The task facing negotiators was made even more daunting by the failure of the Group of 20 major industrial nations to agree ambitious new commitments at the weekend.
