Reduction of greenhouse gases
A resolution to increase the quality of the world's environment, at the expense of industry.
Category: Environmental
Industry Affected: Automobile Manufacturing
Proposed by: Kritosia
Description: Acknowledging climate change and its adverse effects are a common concern of humankind,
Concerned that human activities have been increasing the atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases due to fossil fuel use, that these increases enhance the natural greenhouse effect, and that this will result in an additional warming of the Earth's surface, adversely affecting natural ecosystems,
Acknowledging that the global nature of climate change calls for the widest possible cooperation by all nations in accordance with their common but differentiated responsibilities and respective capabilities and their social and economic conditions,
Recognizing that all Nations, especially developing nations, need access to resources required to achieve sustainable social and economic development and that, in order for developing countries to progress towards that goal, their energy consumption needs to grow,
Accordingly, delegates of the United nations have agreed as follows:
ARTICLE 1
1. The objective of this resolution is to reduce greenhouse gas concentrations by implementing a 10% decrease in fossil fuels over the next ten years,so that gradual adaptation is possible. This will ensure that food production and economic development is not threatened.
2. In their actions to achieve the objective of the United Nations and to implement its provisions, all Nations shall be guided by the following:
ARTICLE 2
1.All Nations should protect the climate system for the benefit of present and future generations, on the basis of equity and in accordance with their common but differentiated responsibilities and capabilities.
2.Nations should cooperate to promote an open international system that leads to sustainable economic growth and development in all Nations, particularly developing Nations.
ARTICLE 3
All Nations, taking into account their commonalities and differences,shall;
1. Promote and cooperate in the development, application and diffusion of technologies, practices and processes that control, reduce or prevent emissions of fossil fuels;
2.Promote and cooperate in the full exchange of information related to climate change.
Each of these Nations shall :
1.Review its own policies which encourage activities that lead to greater levels of fossil fuel emissions;
2.Developed Nations shall take all practicable steps to promote and finance the transfer of, or access to, environmentally sound technologies to other Nations, particularly developing Nations, to enable them to implement the provisions of the U.N.
ARTICLE 3
In carrying out their commitments under the previous articles, Nations shall:
1.Support world efforts to strengthen scientific capacities, particularly in developing countries, and to promote the exchange of data and analyses obtained from areas beyond national jurisdiction; and
2.Cooperate in the exchange of material on climate change, development of national institutions and the exchange of personnel to train experts in this field.
