Why Are Myanmar Rohingyas Becoming A Burden For Bangladesh? – OpEd
1.15 million Rohingya who have fled Myanmar’s Rakhine State now exceed 1.45 million. This is an official account. Locals say the actual number will be much higher. Cox’s Bazar is now a changed township due to the large number of Rohingya refugees. As days go by, the number of Rohingyas is increasing more than the local population. If this continues, the locals will eventually become a minority in Cox’s Bazar. Because the birth rate of Rohingyas is 4/5 times higher than that of locals. Rohingyas were given asylum on humanitarian grounds. But they have now emerged as a dangerous poison. The Myanmar government’s repatriation process is also hanging only in negotiations. According to the latest survey of Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics, the total population of Cox’s Bazar district is 28 lakh 23 thousand 265 people. Among them, 4 lakh 17 thousand 340 people in Sadar upazila, 5 lakh 71 thousand 277 people in Chakaria upazila, 2 lakh 14 thousand 357 people in Pekua upazila, 1 lakh 43 thousand 622 people in Kutubdia, 3 lakh 85 thousand 507 people in Maheshkhali, 3 lakh 44 thousand in Ramu. 545 people, 2 lakh 63 thousand 186 people in Ukhia, 3 lakh 33 thousand 863 people in Teknaf and 1 lakh 49 thousand 566 people in Eidgaon upazila. Meanwhile, only in the refugee camps of Ukhia and Teknaf, 1.45 million Rohingya people are living.
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.
