Where Does Bangladesh Stand In The US Indo-Pacific Strategy? – Analysis
In geographical reality, the Indo-Pacific area is quickly assuming primacy as the hub of global politics and commerce. Because of the region’s geopolitical significance, enormous maritime economic potential, vast market, and strategic location, major world powers have developed strategies for the Indo-Pacific region. Foreign investors are also interested in the region due to its expanding importance. Countries in the Indo-Pacific area, including Bangladesh, can benefit from the competitive advances of the great powers. Geographically speaking, Bangladesh lies at the meeting point of South Asia and Southeast Asia. Bangladesh thus occupies a central position in the Indo-Pacific area. Bangladesh’s relevance is greatly boosted by the prominence of this region. An essential bay in the Indo-Pacific region is the Bay of Bengal. The international court has resolved the conflict between Bangladesh, India, and Myanmar over the territorial waters of this sea. Following the decisions of the Permanent Court of Arbitration (PCA) and the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea (ITLOS), Bangladesh has been granted complete economic and absolute sovereignty over the 1,18,813 km of the Bay of Bengal.
India targets net-zero carbon emissions by 2070, says Modi
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.
COP26: What climate summit means for one woman in Bangladesh
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.

Deliver on promises, developing world tells rich at climate talks
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.
