On Friday, March 1, ClassACT’s Benazir Bhutto Leadership Program, along with Harvard’s Weatherhead Center for International Affairs (WCFIA) and the Salata Institute, hosted a daylong Symposium focused on climate change mitigation strategies in emerging economies.
This one-day symposium will be the third that ClassACT has sponsored in collaboration with the Weatherhead Center.
The Benazir Bhutto Leadership Program of ClassACT HR73 brings a Fellow or Fellows from majority-Muslim countries for one year in the Mason Fellows Program at Harvard Kennedy School. Our current Fellow, Nazmul Haque (see attached bio), has a long and successful career developing public-private partnerships in response to climate change in his native country, Bangladesh. Using his experience as a case study, our panelists will examine and enlarge upon the example offered by Nazmul, considering size of country, general economic and political factors, institutions, technology, and leadership and the inter-relationship of climate change mitigation with other national and international priorities.
