Elementary education shall be compulsory. Technical and professional education shall be made generally available and higher education shall be equally accessible to all on the basis of merit.”, and

Whereas Sustainable Development Goal #4 is Quality Education, and

Alarmed by some of the lowest literacy rates in the world, and

Aware of this will take a while to do, and

Knowing that19-39% literate people in these countries, and

Concerned by only roughly 20%-35% literacy rates in these countries,

Be It Hereby Resolved That The General Assembly:

11. Timeline: Start the vans in the Nigerian coast and let them each make 3 basic schools in the least literate places in Niger, Nigeria, Chad, Central African Republic and South Sudan for 5 years.
    
12. Evaluation
13. If the literacy rate increases by 5% in these areas that I sent schools to then I will know I did something right and the program can go on for longer and maybe expand.
14. If the literacy rate decreases in these areas that I sent schools to then I will know I did something wrong and the program needs to be called off early.

Resolution GA-02 April 28

Re.:                             Air Pollution in Chile
Submitted to:            General Assembly
Submitted by:            Iceland
Date:                           April 28, 2022

Whereas Article 25, section 1 of the UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS states, “Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of himself and his family, including food, clothing, housing, and medical care, and necessary social services, and the right to security in the event of unemployment, sickness, disability, widowhood, old age, or other lack of livelihood in circumstances beyond his control.”, and

Stunned that Chile’s average air quality index is around 68, but a good AQI is considered 0-50, and

 Dismayed that Chile imported 304,000 barrels of oil a day in 2015 due to the fact that they don’t have that many fossil fuels, so they need to receive oil from other countries, and

Shocked that Coyhaique, located in the Chilean Aysen region, was the most polluted city in Latin America, and in Chile in 2020, and

 Distressed that in Chile, air pollution is the source of more than 4,000 premature deaths from cardiopulmonary disease and lung cancer, and

Concerned that Chile’s precipitation rate has been estimated to fall by 10% by 2049,

Be It Hereby Resolved That The General Assembly:

1. Iceland, with the help of the UN, will start a program called CCAA, or Chile Climate Action Association. The action plan is to establish 2 geothermal power plants in the two most polluted cities in Chile (Coyhaique and Padre Las Casas.) CCAA will employ 50 builders and 50 electricians who specialize in geothermal energy per plant. Chile Climate Action Association will also hire 70 amateur workers per plant to lower Chile’s unemployment rate, which is currently 11.51%. These amateur workers will receive training and do maintenance work. Each plant will be approximately 16 acres. 
2. Funding will be from countries that support climate action, such as France, New Zealand, Denmark, Sweden, and Norway. Each of these countries will give 2 million dollars to our goal. CCAA aims to raise 10 million dollars for the entire project, including buying materials, providing salaries to our employees, purchasing the estate, etc.
3. It will take CCAA about 5 years to receive the money, create a design, and build the power plants. Currently, CCAA’s goal is to evaluate the project in two years.
4. After two years of the built power plants being in use, CCAA will know that our plan is working if the geothermal energy in Chile increases by 5%. After the evaluation, the program will expand our project to two other countries, Indonesia and Bangladesh, since their pollution rates are higher than normal, and they need help from the CCAA.

Appalled that the infant mortality rate in 2020 was 109.2 deaths per 1,000 births, and

Shocked that in 2018 the life expectancy was 54.3 years; among the bottom 5 in the world, and

Noticing that in 2020 the maternal mortality rate was 1,360 deaths per 100,000 live births, and

Horrified that only 2% of the population in Sierra Leone has access to clean, readily available drinking water, and

Dismayed that there were 14,124 cases of Ebola from 2014 to 2016, which killed 21% of the country’s entire health workforce, and

Realizing that 450,000 disabled people live in Sierra Leone; the government does not provide any assistance,

Be It Hereby Resolved That The General Assembly:

1. France is asking the UN to start a program called The Next Step (TNS). TNS will build 5 clinics around Sierra Leone in spots where healthcare is at its worst. The clinics will offer essential resources for newborns such as diapers, infant formula, clothing, etc. In the same manner, the clinics will offer classes and guidance to new mothers on how to take care of themselves and their children. The clinics will focus on mothers and their children, while also offering basic medical care for the rest of the population. TNS will hire 3 doctors per clinic and 12 other volunteers, nurses, etc. TNS will start a separate program to recruit and train volunteers to work at clinics. 

•  TNS will ask the top 10 wealthiest countries to pay $2 million, while France will pay $5 million.

• TNS will need 2 ½ years to find builders, train volunteers, ship and receive supplies, start construction, and start the program. 

• 3 ½ years after construction is concluded, the infant mortality rate in Sierra Leone will be calculated by TNS. If the infant mortality rate has decreased by 2%, TNS will begin focusing on the overall healthcare status in Sierra Leone and start building a medical school in Freetown, Sierra Leone’s biggest city. TNS will ask the top 20 wealthiest countries for $3 million, while France will cover $7 million. This money will go to construction for supplies, paying teachers, etc. To pay off their student loans, new graduates will work at the previously established clinics. 5 years after the first graduating class, if the life expectancy has reached 56 years, TNS will begin building clinics in Sierra Leone’s neighboring countries with poor healthcare. This includes Liberia, Mali, Ivory Coast, and Burkina Faso.
