"The green transition will create new jobs in apparel, and put others at risk. Working together to upskill and reskill is how we make sure Bangladesh's garment workers move into the better, greener jobs ahead, rather than being left behind."

Today at the Denim Expo, Max Tunon, ILO Country Director for Bangladesh, joined the Just Transition panel to discuss how Bangladesh can embed a worker-centred transition in its labour and industrial policy, from heat stress protections in the Labour Rules to the just transition chapter of the NDC Implementation Plan.

A just transition creates more good jobs than it displaces, works for business, and protects the most vulnerable. 🧵🌱

What does it take for Bangladesh to turn its trade and investment potential into durable, inclusive growth?

That question brought together officials from more than 20 government agencies, this weekend for a two-day residential workshop in Gazipur on aligning trade, investment, and decent work for resilient supply chains.

The honest conversations were the most valuable ones. On leather - stagnant at $1 billion in annual exports for a decade while Vietnam built a $27 billion sector. On aquaculture - where Bangladesh holds a world-class GI species but captures less than 1% of global shrimp trade by value. On circular plastics and textiles - where Bangladesh's existing manufacturing expertise positions it to lead, if industrial policy, environmental standards, and decent work preconditions move together.

The shared conclusion was that Bangladesh's diversification agenda is an opportunity this country has earned the right to seize, but only if it delivers decent work for all women and men. That means dedicated effort on ease of doing business, formalization and traceability so that enterprises at every tier can participate, stronger Occupational Safety and Health so that workers are not left behind, and genuine respect for fundamental principles and rights at work as the foundation on which durable growth is built.

Next step is a structured debriefing on 17 June with MoC, BIDA, UNRCO, leading economists and development partners to discuss turning opportunities into action.

কৃষি বর্জ্যই আজ বদলে দিচ্ছে জীবনের গল্প। 🌱

খুলনার ডুমুরিয়া উপজেলার লিমা মণ্ডল দেখিয়ে দিচ্ছেন, গরুর গোবর ও খামারের জৈব বর্জ্য শুধু ফেলে দেওয়ার উপকরণ নয় - এগুলোই হতে পারে উর্বর মাটি, উন্নত ফলন এবং অতিরিক্ত আয়ের উৎস। ট্রাইকো কম্পোস্ট উৎপাদনের মাধ্যমে তিনি একদিকে যেমন পরিবেশবান্ধব কৃষিচর্চা করছেন, অন্যদিকে কমাচ্ছেন রাসায়নিক সারের ওপর নির্ভরতা এবং গড়ে তুলছেন আরও টেকসই কৃষি ব্যবস্থা। ♻️🌍

এই বিশ্ব পরিবেশ দিবসে প্রশ্ন একটাই - পরিবেশ রক্ষা ও জলবায়ু সংকট মোকাবিলায় আপনি কী করছেন?
