More than one in three people of working age in Bangladesh are youth, according to the nation’s ‘Labour Force Survey 2022’. How can Bangladesh reap the benefits of this demographic dividend to combat plastic waste? Young people from Mongla, Patuakhali, and Burhanuddin, three coastal cities of Bangladesh, raised awareness, organised rallies, mapped critical waste zones and advocated for better waste management plans with local officials. They also launched clean-up drives in Patuakhali and Burhanuddin.

Safura Khatun from Kalabagi (a small island in Dacope, Khulna) feels fortunate to have studied through fourth grade—a rare opportunity for girls in her community, where families often prioritise boys’ education, expecting them to support the family, and girls are often seen as dependent on their husbands. People are being trapped in a vicious cycle - poverty increases vulnerability to climate impacts, and climate impacts drive people into poverty. #COP29 #BeingAWomanIsExpensive
