Reuters May 30, 2011 reported the Bangladesh government would need US$26 billion to develop its own Natural Gas resource. Only five days earlier, a Bangladeshi official had estimated some US$ 27 billion ought to invest in the climate change mitigation programs to tackle the environmental impacts of the Bangladesh socio-economic development.
Given the source of finance is scarce, so which one must come first? The energy investment which allows the Bangladeshi government addresses its energy security and consequently keeps up its economic growth rate positive OR the government funds the climate change mitigation program for precautionary reason.
This is another dynamic and complex system with feedbacks!
