BIMSTEC Business Conclave supported by Ministry of External Affairs and is being organized by Indian Chamber of Commerce during 13th – 15th June in Kolkata. This is to commemorate 25 years of BIMSTEC.

This 3-day long business conclave, along with a BIMSTEC exhibition, is a forum to discuss priorities, opportunities, challenges and also for B2B, G2G and B2G interactions among BIMSTEC member nations - Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Myanmar, Nepal, Sri Lanka, and Thailand.

Climate change is a global emergency that goes beyond national borders. From shifting weather patterns that threaten food production, to rising sea levels that increase the risk of catastrophic flooding, the impacts of climate change are global in scope and unprecedented in scale. Without drastic action today, adapting to these impacts in the future will be more difficult and costly. BIMSTEC member nations are articulating climate action plans to cut emissions and adapt to climate impacts through national policy commitments. The Asia- Pacific region is more vulnerable to climate change risks than other parts of the world, because of its dependence on the natural resources and agriculture sector, densely populated coastal areas, weak institutions, and poverty among a considerable proportion of the population. This session aims to discuss on the policy and implementation level challenges for meeting SDG goals on climate change for BIMSTEC and the scope for intra-regional cooperation in environment and climate change.
