Permanent Representative of Bangladesh to the United Nations Ambassador Salahuddin Noman Chowdhury has called for transforming the peacekeeping missions into more environmentally friendly entities.

At an event held at the UN Headquarters in New York recently, he briefed about the contribution of Bangladesh’s peacekeepers in the field and called for adopting innovative approaches, saving biodiversity of the host countries and training of the peacekeepers to supplement the work of Agenda 2030.
Bangladesh delegation to the UN along with Missions of Germany, Italy, Republic of Korea and Slovenia co-hosted the side event on “Environmental Impact of UN Peace Operations – from Ambition to Action.”

Under-Secretary-General for Operational Support Atul Khare and a large number of delegates from member States attended the event, said the Bangladesh Mission on Tuesday.

Moderated by the Permanent Representative of Slovenia, the side event was organized to raise awareness on the issues and to discuss the achievements of the UN peace operations in reducing its environmental footprint as well as possible transition to renewable energy options.
