Speaking at the sessions, Sir Partha Sarathi Dasgupta said “We need to re-think our bias that ‘Nature has played no part’. The way we need to change economic policies need to be analysed in terms of the incentives they create, rather than the hopes that inspired them.”, highlighting the urgent need for global action that the Forum hopes to initiate.

With strong deliberations and recommendations, the 10th EHNF 2022 is happy to announce:

  1. The Eastern Himalayan Fund: A pan-regional Eastern Himalayan Fund for People & Nature, to restore ecosystems and create restoration-linked jobs for rural communities. The ambitious $1 billion fund will be built collectively with partners across Nepal, Bhutan and Bangladesh and will be launched at the G20 in September.
  2. The Rural Futures Fellowship programme: An 18 month practical training programme during which enthusiastic young environmentalists gain practical experience in the fundamental technical and core skills necessary to successfully rewild their lands, mobilise their communities, and develop vital local capacities for managing restoration and conservation.

“Most of the world stops at adaptation and resilience,” said H.E. Saber Hossain Chowdhury, “In Bangladesh, we took it one step further to prosperity.”

The curtain raiser was followed by a special lecture by Sir Partha Dasgupta, recipient of the The Global NaturenomicsTM Puroskar, an award for an individual with outstanding global achievements in pioneering the cause of valuing nature. Sir Partha Dasgupta was born in Bangladesh and is the author of the landmark Economics of Biodiversity report for the UK Treasury released last year.
