The Centre for Environmental and Resource Management (CERM), BUET successfully organized the Energy Diplomacy Thematic Workshop of the Dhaka Engineering Diplomacy Workshop 2026 on 27 August 2026 at the ITN-BUET Seminar Room, Dhaka.
Under the theme “Shaping Bangladesh’s Energy Diplomacy for a Sustainable Future,” the workshop brought together experts and stakeholders to examine the challenges and opportunities surrounding Bangladesh’s energy security, regional cooperation, and environmental sustainability.
The workshop followed a problem-focused and action-oriented approach, moving from diagnosis and stakeholder perspectives toward practical decision pathways, tools, measurable indicators, and near-term actions.
A special acknowledgment goes to Professor Dr. Shafiqul Islam, Tufts University, whose vision and initiative helped bring the Engineering Diplomacy Workshop concept to Bangladesh and set the foundation for this collaborative platform. The Engineering Diplomacy approach seeks to connect rigorous engineering and scientific reasoning with the realities of people, institutions, politics, and context to develop pathways that are credible, acceptable, and feasible.
The Energy Diplomacy workshop marks another important step in advancing dialogue and collaboration around complex national and regional challenges, with the process continuing toward the January 2027 follow-up.
