Meeting #3: Limited to 20 delegates (UNDP)
The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) works in about 170 countries in an effort to help to achieve the end of poverty and reduction of inequality and exclusion. It is also focused on efforts to prevent and increase resilience in the face of crisis, find nature-based solutions, develop clean, affordable energy, women’s empowerment, develop just societies, and fight to keep people out of poverty. During the meetings at the Kyoto Protocol and Paris conference, the prime minister of Tuvalu called to impose a strict not-to-be-exceeded target of 1.5 degree Celsius rise in the global temperature, this was the minimum required to save his people from a homeless future. Baring reaching this goal, the growing exposure and disaster risk in the wake of a changing climate has forced countries like Tuvalu to pay a heavy price for manmade and natural disasters. We will discuss and explore ways to economically develop the region, as well as, work to mitigate the coming challenges of the rising seas and stronger storms as a result of the influence of climate change. Our goal will be to find and fund technological, political, and ecological ways to fight for the survival and development of countries like Tuvalu and turn these ideas into coherent programs.
