The delegates of the Environmental Commission will be debating four resolutions.
Two resolutions will be under the topic “Efforts in protecting the remaining wild
Rhinos” and the other two will be under “Promoting the techniques and use of
biodegradable materials in LEDC’s”. Today the delegates of the Environmental
Commission were split into four groups depending on their countries to write these
resolutions. There are two groups writing on “Efforts in protecting the remaining wild
Rhinos”; one of the groups includes the countries: Vietnam, China, and Philippines.
The other group writing on this includes: France, Botswana, Mozambique and the
WWF organization. The remaining two resolutions will be written on “Promoting the
techniques and use of biodegradable materials in LEDC’s” and the first group writing
on this includes: Kuwait, Sri Lanka, Thailand, India, and Indonesia. The last group of
countries on this topic are: Sweden, The UK, Germany, Zimbabwe and Egypt. These
groups were determined by their position on the topics and their alliance with each
other. Each delegate arrived today with their position papers on their topics, to
express their opinion on their topics. The groups had about 2 hours to complete their
resolutions, and each delegate demonstrated their vast knowledge on their topics
and showed just how well researched they were. In each group all delegates got
involved and collaborated well with each other. The debates on these resolutions will
take place tomorrow.
