Bhutan, the chair of the LDC Group in the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change or UNFCCC, organised the summit. The speakers included Bhutanese Prime Minister Lotay Tshering, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, COP26 President Alok Sharma, and UNFCCC Executive Secretary Patricia Espinosa. Hasina in her pre-recorded speech blamed the adverse impact of climate change for making millions of people climate refugees. “We must admit that our current efforts to achieve that target are highly inadequate,” the prime minister said. “I’m sure that it is true for all other LDCs and climate vulnerable countries,” she said.
