Tax (CPT) whereupon all private and public organizations are taxed based on
the amount of GreenHouse Gases produced by said organization, the amount of
the tax increasing with more Greenhouse Gas emissions and and reducing with
less of the same, 
i)Suggests all registered public and private organizations should submit bi-
annual reports on their GHG productions using software or devices that
calculate GHG emissions based on energy used and processes taking place,
 said reports should be reviewed by the environmental ministries who shall then
decide the level of the tax placed on these organizations, 
ii) Encourages more efficient monitoring of GHG emission permits issued for
all said organizations, and upon exceeding a certain limit as mentioned in the

methods while implementing possible solutions to reduce the drastic effects of climate
change, 

a. This Task force should comprise of environmental specialist from UNEP as

well as the IPCC to tackle the rising issues with regards to climate change and
global warming as well as  develop efficient methods to reduce the effect of the
 same while providing all willing member states with advice and techniques on
how to reduce the same,

b. The Task force should also include a small team from the UNHCR, to delve

immigrants
 iii) the  humanitarian  category,  through which the host country allows people to
enter, for example, because they are refugees, as defined under  the  international 
Refugee  Convention or they are classified as “Environmentally displaced
individuals” 
          iv) Note that the humanitarian category generally admits fewer people than the
economic or family categories
b. The following systems should be created to ensure that refugees are treated
fairly
      i) A system for penalizing the responsible countries immediately to provide
