Support us Tarique Rahman has thought through his climate strategy. Image: X Screengrab When Tarique Rahman, Bangladesh’s prime minister, chose the World Economic Forum’s prestigious Annual Meeting of the New Champions in Dalian for his first major international address since taking office, the selection of the topic was a highly deliberate statement of strategic intent. He did not lead with predictable requests for trade concessions, investment incentives, or the fluid politics of the country’s democratic transition. Instead, he chose climate change. “Bangladesh believes climate action is not a cost,” he told the assembled global delegates. “For delta nations, it is a much-needed investment for prosperity, stability and a shared future.” For an administration five months into a mandate built entirely on restoring institutional confidence, this was a structural claim about how Bangladesh intends to compete for capital, partnerships and geopolitical standing in an era in which climate vulnerability has become inseparable from macroeconomic strategy. The underlying argument advanced by Dhaka is simple and assertive. Bangladesh is no longer content to be treated as a passive case study in ecological vulnerability.
