On 12 May Dhaka North and South City Corporation (DNCC and DSCC) unveiled Dhaka’s first-ever Paris Agreement-aligned climate action plans. The plans will serve as a roadmap for Dhaka North and Dhaka South to become carbon-neutral by 2050, aligning with Bangladesh’s National Commitment of conditional emissions reduction target.
Both city corporations aim to cut emissions by 14.9% by 2030 and 33.8% by 2040, compared to the 2021-22 fiscal year baseline. The ultimate target is a 70.6% reduction by 2050.
