There is no doubt that climate change is occurring and has the potential for global disasters. It's happening to us all. However, despite it all, there is not enough action. And in this equation it's the weaker, poorer, less developed countries that are going to suffer the most. And that includes Bangladesh and the rest of South Asia. It's more than a crisis but a matter of survival.

Obviously this is why a new deal on climate finance is so critical. But are they under serious pressure to fund it? Every country would pay a terrible price if two two-thirds of the world's countries fail to rapidly reduce their emissions. However, this knowledge has yet to produce an appropriate response.

It is feared that the entire world economy could be put into jeopardy if various countries can't strengthen their supply chains which will inevitably be severely threatened due to costs and supply crises caused by climate shocks.

However, each country will also have their own crisis to handle. In the case of Bangladesh and other south Asian countries where vulnerabilities to nature are already high, climate change is already increasing the existing crises. As was observed recently, floods were more devastating than expected and other natural disasters followed. But more worryingly they also trigger institutional and structural stresses that can be very difficult to cope with.

Yet the world may have to face the fact more rudely that each state acts only in the interest of itself and to create a global value system may be critical but hasn't yet happened in history before. While we can look back at world wars, we never had World peace. We may have the UN but confidence in the UN as it stands today is not as strong as it was yesterday which is something we need to recognize.

One of the main reasons why the UN has not been able to facilitate an equal world is the asymmetric status of various powers. In the absence of balance disarray is inevitable. And that is natural.

If the smaller and weaker countries are to exert any influence to create initiatives that benefit them they must form regional bodies which can speak as a group making them impossible to ignore. Instead of uniting the world first, it might be more practical to unite the regions first and then move to unite the world. Tackling the Climate change crisis means step by step unity rather than chasing a global unity of self-interests that are not easy to achieve.

Global unity is necessary and let it be on the basis of mutual strength and not charity.
