Committee Name: WHO Committee Topic: overpopulation Country Name: North Korea

The term //overpopulation// refers to an increase of population in an area to the limit that can cause environmental deterioration, a decline in the quality of life, or a population collapse. The increase of population started in 1963. More than eighty-one million people are added to the world wide population scale every year and it said that in every ten years, one billion people will added to the world wide scale. In order to make more room for humans, sixteen million hectares of forest are being destroyed each year. Animals are forced to inhospitable places and that can cause extinction for many animals. Due to overpopulation, plants and animals are being extinct 10,000 times more than it naturally should be. Overpopulated cities produce tons of solid wastes and that causes pollution. It is said that by 2025, one half of the world's wetlands will be destroyed. Overpopulation clearly affects the Ozone layer.
 * __I. BACKGROUND__**

WHO is an authority within the UN. WHO was created in April 7, 1948 and April 7th is now celebrated as World Health Day. It provides global health, improving health research, provides health technical support to other countries, and monitors health trends. The UN has developed a fund called UNFPA, the United Nations Population Fund. UNFPA promotes the right of every woman, man, and child to enjoy a healthy life. UNFPA encourages countries to use population data to reduce poverty, to ensure that every birth is wanted and safe, prevent HIV/AIDS, and that every woman and girl is treated with dignity and respect.
 * __II. UN INVOLVEMENT__**

Asia has to be one of the most populated place. It is believed that by 2050, Asia will have about 5.2 billion people. North Korea has a population of 23,479,095 in an area of 120,540 Km2. Like any other country, North Korea is against overpopulation. No country would want to be in that situation. We think that overpopulation should be one of the most important topics because it is effecting the whole planet.
 * __III. COUNTRY POLICY AND INVOLVEMENT__**

We will keep supporting the UNFPA. We think that every birth should be wanted. We think it is a good idea to keep population data to avoid or reduce any problems. A solution to stop animal extinction and ruining the Ozone layer, is to stop destroying forest. Another solution is to clean up abandon areas to make more room. We understand that this might cause a lot of money for materials and tools but we can try to gather as many volunteers as we can to help clean areas of donate materials. We can also try to clean up dumps to make more room. Dumps are really just wasting room, it is just full of trash which most of it we can recycle. These solutions can not only help reduce overpopulation, it can help the Ozone layer, which is being damaged by overpopulation. These solutions can also help save animals that are being force to horrible places for extinction.
