Under this theme, CPD worked to connect climate diplomacy, green energy transition, and sustainable resource use. It brought together Bangladeshi and Australian stakeholders to deepen collaboration on climate finance, renewable energy and a greener economic pathway. CPD also engaged around COP30 by convening experts to clarify Bangladesh’s priorities and later reflecting on the conference outcomes, with a shared focus on policy coherence, just transition, and climate finance that reaches vulnerable communities. In addition, CPD organised a national conference on food loss and waste, showing how reducing post-harvest losses can cut emissions, protect natural resources and strengthen food security through better infrastructure, regulation and innovation.
