At the Raiser for COP-30 (Page Conference) in Calcutta, Calcuta Municipal Corporation, a member of the mayor in Council (MMIC) and MLA Debasish Kumar said there was an immediate global action on environmentally vulnerable areas such as Sundarbans and Darjeeling in West Bengen and Living.
The Conference on the Change of the UN Climate 2025 or the Conference of Pages will take place in Belé in Brazil from 10 to 21 November and this year will focus on implementing words and making transformation changes on the spot with another focus on Klimat’s finance.
“Most of the Sundarbans are in Bangladesh, we are trying to reduce damage to reduce the damage by planting more mangrove trees and stop erosion. Hind on Wednesday (September 3, 2025) after the Cupor Raiser.
Mr. Kumar also added that there is a lot of conversation about climate change, but there is no lack of measures on Earth, leading to any growth or development. He called for advanced technological, financial and harsh support from the global parties to solve this upcoming problem first.
There are more than five million people and 12 million in West Bengal, if we include the Bangladeshi party, the whole area and its millions of people live on the edge due to growing sea levels and severe erosion, activists said.
Climate activists and scientists present at the event also stated that it is urgently necessary to declare a special status for the environmentally sensitive mangrove Sundarbans. They said that even though there is an alliance of small island states (AOSIS), the island areas like Sundarbans are not included in it because they are part of a larger nation that protects them outside of relevant conversations.
Through their prefabricated discussions, activists expressed the hope that COP-30 would demand an action in Sundarbans and save the fragile delta ecosystem and its vulnerable community, including its diverse flora and fauna.
Professor and scientist Abhijit Chatterjee said that historically climate change and air pollution have been solved as separate problems, but it is time to consider them to be interconnected and solve them as such. “Most countries create independent politicians for these two things, but these are different faces of the same problem.”
