Noёl Hong HBHS09 Committee: CLIMATE Topic: Kyoto Protocol Revision Country: Madagascar

I. __Brief Background of the Topic and Country Policy__: Environmental problems are increasingly surfacing. The Kyoto Protocol was written by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, or "the Convention." It was established in 1997 and guides countries in the right direction as far as fighting climate change and global warming.

Madagascar has renowned strong cultural and natural riches. Our society is making progress in our economic and social development, such as increasing literacy, and overcoming trade barriers and disaster vulnerability. Sustainable development is one of Madagascar's main concerns. We are making efforts to develop ecotourism and to set aside for landscape for conservation, and to protect endangered species and ecosystems in our unique biodiversity. We are aiming to reach the Millennium Development Goals. Madagascar is a strong party to the Kyoto Protocol. We will help others facing similar challenges to us. We look forward to an even deeper relationship with the United Nations.

II. __United Nations Involvement__: In 2006, a panel was named to explore the work of the UN system in development areas, humanitarian assistance, and how the environment can be made more coherent and more effective. It's intention is to lay the groundwork for restructuring work done by different UN funds, programs, and agencies. The UN and many other organizations are striving to make changes to the environment, and our lifestyles. The United Nations Climate Change Conference produced sufficient results. It focuses on climate preservation. Resolution A/RES/43/53 was adopted by the General Assembly on December 6, 1998, which stresses scientific research and studies encouraging preservation. The Kyoto Protocol was created in 1997 and is highly looked upon and encouraged.

III. __Solutions__: I think revising the Kyoto Protocol and holding conventions of how to strengthen this treaty, would be nothing but beneficial. Countries needs and concerns can be addressed. We can further add or subtract certain parts in the treaty, or can even increase goals in order to fight global warming stronger. Madagascar highly recommends revising the Kyoto Protocol, and incorporating the more small nations into it more. WE must care for our natural environment by protecting the world's common cultural heritage. At a global level, and within our societies, in the wonderfully diverse world, we much learn to live together more peacefully and harmoniously. Live in peace, develop all we can, and play a productive role in the United Nations.
