The UN climate talks in Madrid ended in a sheer disappointment. The talks, originally scheduled to be hosted by Chile and later held in the Spanish capital following Chile's pullout amid political unrest, failed to give the world any hope of the fulfilment of climate goals.

Countries failed to reach consensus on many of the expected outcomes, including rules to set up a global carbon trading mechanism and a system to channel new finance to countries facing the impacts of climate change. Negotiations put politics and fossil-fuel interests above people and the planet. Many countries, led by the United States, Australia and Brazil, once again exposed their apathy to the suffering of millions. Major emitters failed to show clear signals about increasing ambition by 2020 and rich countries reneged on the promise to provide finance for loss and damage. The key polluting countries responsible for 80 percent of the worlds climate-wrecking emissions, stood mute. The countries like Bangladesh identified as one of the biggest victims of climate change feel helpless when they return empty-handed from the UN talks that was expected to give clear guidelines on the world's actions to tackle the climate crisis.

Energy & Power Magazine Description:

Energy & Power (EP) is the first and only full-fledged fortnightly magazine that deals with the much cried over energy and power sector in Bangladesh. Since its inception in June 16, 2003, EP is working very hard to 
a) Develop public consciousness on sustainable and even development of energy sector; 
b) Assist the policy makers in assuming pragmatic policies for a balanced development of the energy sector; 
c) Continuous supply of information among public; and 
d) Develop a group of reporters in this field 

Bangladesh is an energy deficit country like other countries in the region and most of the people do not have adequate access to the energy and power. The country is completely dependent on fossil energy source; at the same time, it is one of the most inefficient energy using countries in the world. 
It lacks efficiency in planning, management, generation, distribution, load management and even at the end user level consumption. 
In spite of the above drawbacks, issues relating to utilization of renewable energy, exploring alternative use of energy, planned use of environment friendly energy are significantly undermined in Bangladesh. 
The biggest challenge of Bangladesh is to find a path for balanced growth of its energy sector. Despite its resource constraints, EP dynamically strives to provide theenergy sector with a flow of information and create public awareness; so that policymakers get guidelines and platforms for its sustainable development.
