US envoy Kerry discusses climate challenges in Bangladesh
DHAKA – John Kerry, the special U.S. envoy on climate, arrived in Bangladesh on Friday to hear what the South Asia delta nation has done to deal with weather extremes and rising sea levels ahead of a virtual summit on climate change hosted by President Joe Biden this month.
Kerry has already visited the United Arab Emirates, where the government says the impact of warmer weather, less rain, droughts, higher seas and more storms is taking its toll on infrastructure, human health and natural habitat.
He also traveled to India, where he discussed similar challenges with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the State Department said.
