Committee: Denmark Committee Topic: overpopulation Coutry: denmark

__Backround of Topic:__

Overpopulation is happening in many countries around the world and it is a huge, but yet a minor epidemic. Countries like China are overpopulated and that means that they need more supplies and demand. This is because countries like these, have sexual reproduction and multiplies the current population to a high percent. Right now, there are about five and a half billion people living but therewill be 6 billion by the end of the 20th century. if it keeps up at this rate, then by the year 2050 there will be ten billion people living in the world. this is a problem because five hundred million people are starving or being ill-fed, health of people can be infected by poor sanitation of houses, and even the waste the people produce will contribute to air pollution.Something should be done now to help slow down overpopulation.;

__United Nations Involvement:__

Overpopulation has been a problem with the United Nation since the World War 2. Organizations like WHO, UNFPA,FAO,UNPD are all branches of the UN. Most of these organizations hold conferences that discuss the problem of overpopulation by increasing education and health services. These committees discuss how to stop and prevent overpopulation by controling it like china is making a one-child plan to decrease population growth. with the problem of fodd shortages, was when the UN is trying to buy and recieve food to prevent hunger.

__Country Policy and Involment:__

Denmark, along with many other Nations, are for overpopulation and want to help prevent overpopulation. Denmark were in orginazations such as WHO to help this problem. Like other countries, Denmark is working just as hard to help prevent this problem.

__Solutions:__

Denmark came up with a solution that will help overpopultion by doing what China did which was to allow every couple to have a maximum of two to three childen. This will make the population growth stable and reasonable for a family to have a nice life. Every family will have it easier on them because food will not be a hassle that big because they only have two children to take care of. also, pollution won't be as bad since the population will turn decent.A solution like this will be easy to inforce and with all the families that currently have more than three children will be able to keep their children but will not be allowed to have any more.
