Dhaka (Bangladesh): Balipara Foundation hosted its 10th annual Balipara Foundation Awards at the 10th Eastern Himalayan NaturenomicsTM Forum 2022 in Dhaka from 11th – 13th December 2022, in its first-ever international conclave at Independent University Bangladesh. Building on the theme of Ecology is Economy, the event was launched with a curtain-raiser panel Transforming the Narrative of Climate Change: The ‘Mujib Climate Prosperity Plan Decade 2030’and Delta Plan 2100, celebrating Bangladesh’s role as a global climate leader –with insights from H.E.

Speaking at the sessions, Sir Partha Sarathi Dasgupta said “We need to re-think our bias that ‘Nature has played no part’.
