“We are in a climate emergency & we expect our security institutions to keep us safe. To do this, they need to be strengthened to provide accountable and effective security for us all (the State & its peoples) during the ongoing #climatecrisis” - @NathalieChuard Director, DCAF

Happy to announce that Nepal has started exporting 40 MW of electricity to Bangladesh today! This follows a trilateral agreement between Nepal, India, and Bangladesh on Oct 3 to export power via India’s transmission line. #EnergyCooperation #NepalBangladesh #Sustainability

It was great to speak at this special UN event at COP29 in Baku. I also pointed out the urgent need for the security sector to green themselves. The security sector is the largest single institutional polluter, accounting for 5.5 per cent of global emissions. Time to act.

Glad to be here for this important conversation. Look fwd to discuss future of regionalism beyond SAARC (tomorrow) & Indo-Pacific balance of power (Monday). Politics apart, Delhi & Dhaka will have to connect and navigate this together. Thanks @zillur @CGSbangladesh #BOBC2024
