Topic: Alleviating the Financial Impact of Global Climate Change (GCC) on the Poor

To ensure future cooperation between UN member-states in order to combat the effects of

anthropogenic climate change

I have ideas for NGOs: The Water Project helps developing nations tap into their underground
water reserves. The World Food Program is substantial provider of food aid that many states
desperately need. -Swaziland

- Lets talk during unmod @

- We need to focus on coastal diseases that occur (diseases occur inland too) specifically
vector (malaria, dengue) and water bourne (cholera and such)
- Yes please - tanzania - need stuff for disease prevention and having infrastructure
for it.
- Ok will add them
- Add them for now, we can delete them later

Deeply concerned ​by the economic effects of the changing climate on both developed and
developing nations,

Understanding ​the lack of infrastructure

Emphasizing ​the need to address the spread of vector and waterborne disease resulting from the
downgrading quality of water supply and increased humidity caused by increased temperatures
resulting from increased vehicle and industrial emissions,

Recognising​ the impact of global climate change on the economies of member states,

Acknowledging​ the negative impact global climate change has had on ,the agricultural output of
agrarian nations,f

Stressing​ the importance of a shift to the use of clean, renewable energy resources such as solar,
hydro, and windpower,
Recognizing the
Considering​ the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and their
clarity through releasing the Fifth Assessment Report, which revealed the increasing relevance of
global climate change.

1. Encourages developed nations to aid with loans to developing nations to help create
infrastructure to defend against the pressing global climate crisis,
a. In exchange for government cash transfers, families involved in the program
agreed to send their children to school, provide them with needed clothing, and
use health care services. In return, in the event of drought or natural disaster, the
cash transfers are extended to affected families to prevent the loss of assets and
income.
b. Encourages the use of NGOs to provide resources for education, infrastructure,
and
c. Funding should be focused on the most vulnerable sectors first, such as
agriculture, forestry, health, etc.
2. 90-po
3. Turkey’s Plan:​ As this is a global issue, we must create a tiered system that requires
each nation to give back according to what it has taken from the environment.
a. An independent committee will be assembled to codify the tiers.
b. The committee will give tax breaks to the Green Fund to nations who can’t or
don’t contribute to GCC
c. Hey do you have a plan for what to do with the money raised? If not I have some
ideas. Meet in unmod -DPRK

4. Austria’s Plan:​ Socioeconomic barriers are to blame for the ever-growing disparity
between the rich and poor in terms of resources (directly related to the climate).
Thus, Austria proposes the establishment of green spaces in urban areas
a. to improve the state of the deteriorating and polluted natural environment
b. to attempt to minimize the socioeconomic resource availability disparity which so
prominently exists between the rich and the poor in most countries.

*Economic benefits to this:

- Create incentives (carbon credits or alleviation of debt) to produce these green spaces,
perhaps specifically targeted to the poor (this could potentially also create jobs)
- Allows impoverished families the opportunity to consume food grown in these green
spaces (especially in countries where inflation is high)
 - Eliminate certain medical costs due to the decrease in pollution and increase in better air
quality
Previous proposed legislation: Smart City Legislation

5. Preserve and improve the current agricultural land by reallocating resources from heavy
emissions based industries and
a. Suggest investments into disaster resilience
b. Place restrictions on rapid urbanization and diffusion of emission based industries
into land used primarily for agriculture
c.

6. Increase each country’s contribution to the UN Green Climate Fund in order to increase
global cooperation
a. Increases will be calculated according to each country’s gross domestic product
and finalized by the 24-person governing committee at a later date
b. Increases apply to all UN member states, without exception
7. Developing local infrastructure to efficiently adapt to the rapidly changing climate
conditions in surrounding areas to alleviate the effect of global climate change and
minimize its effects on a short term timeframe.
a. Establish local contingency plans in the event of natural disasters to minimize the
effects of uncontrollable weather conditions, creating a plan for heatwaves and
extreme temperature increases.
b. Establish floodgates to be prepared for sudden flash floods and protect the local
communities against damage from floods.
c. Plan for heatwaves and extreme temperature increases -
d. Implement water permeable pavements and construction methods optimized for
dealing with stormwater overflow and floods in the area
e. New UN coalition founded by Indian President Modi (Coalition for disaster
resilient infrastructure) specifically is using governments and foreign academic
institutions to raise public safety standards
f. Gaining funding from International banks like the IMF
8. Paraguay; Focusing on protecting the agricultural sector in developing countries,
Paraguay relies on crops as about 20% of their GDP. If this industry were to collapse
about half of the country would be out of jobs. Propose; focusing on heat resistant crops,
it will eliminate the loss of thousands of jobs
9. Promoting sustainable agricultural practices that minimize negative impacts on the
environment and provide much needed nourishment for the poor
 A. Discouraging crop burning on farms that release large amounts of carbon dioxide
and lessen crop yields of nearby farms
B. Implement crop rotation in farms to allow for year to increase biodiversity in a
region and improve soil fertility
C. Introduce more effective farming methods to increase productivity per acre of
farmland to compensate for the rapidly decreasing amount of arable land due to
extreme weather conditions and irregular harvest seasons

Portugal: we can use the Green Climate fund to send in volunteers and give poor peoples in
poorer and underdeveloped nations to hire and give wages to poor people to help plant many
trees in nations around the globe.
1. We set up small places in underdeveloped countries to hire and fund people who
do not have jobs and have them go to specified locations nearby and have them
plant trees After they have planted them, depending on the climate of the country,
we can have them go around with vehicles and hydrate the trees to keep them
growing so they are able to take in more CO2 and reduce carbon emissions
2. In nations that are dependent on livestock for their food, we can grow tree crops
instead( apple, peach, lemon, pear, and oranges)
3. Money could be invested into the government to incentivize them to allow the
planting of trees to count as community service and if they plant a certain amount
of trees( chosen by the countries) then they will get a certain amount of tax
discounts( chosen by the country based on their economy)

Djibouti:

Livestock farming is inefficient in terms of energy consumption and pollution generation, many
alternatives exist that can produce alternatives to meat more efficiently, and with less of a total
impact on the environment, the primary examples being plant-based meats which can directly
remove CO2 from the atmosphere, and lab-grown meats, which can grow meat faster at lower
energy cost, with less total pollution.

Detailed Summary:
Agriculture takes up an incredibly large amount of land, and livestock agriculture takes up far
more, as well as serving as one of the world's largest sources of pollutants. Livestock farming
also takes up far more resources than it produces. The product of livestock farming meat, has
many alternatives, such as plant based meats which offer similar amounts of protein, with less
fat, the only main downside being seasoning which lead to a higher amount of sodium, though
those are only primarily used to make the products taste more like their meat alternatives.
Another alternative to livestock farming is growing meat in labs. “Lab-grown meat” takes up far
less resources that traditional livestock farming since the energy put into growing meat goes
directly into the desired parts, as opposed to going into the growing of bones and creation of
skin. Lab grown meat also generates far less pollution, since the generation of methane is
avoided, and far less CO2 is produced.

Summary:
● Livestock takes up a large amount of land that could be used for other purposes, such as
the planting of trees to absorb CO2.
● Many cleaner alternatives exist to livestock farming, the primary ones being plant-based
meats and lab grown meats.
● Plant-based serve as the best alternative to meats in nations that have crop-friendly land,
and can use already established infrastructure, while also reducing carbon emissions
directly.
● Lab-grown meats serve as good options for nations like the ones in Africa that do not
have large amounts of water, or soil that plants can easily grow in.
○ While the facilities needed for growing meat in labs are expensive, investment in
them can increase total meat production, and decrease the cost of meat farming,
while also still decreasing CO2 emissions.
