Ana María Toro
and Isabella Betancur are in charge of the chair in this commission (the
presidents). They are acquainted about the main and the diverse sub-topics that
will be treated in the UNFCCC to achieve the head objective which is to control
the global warming in all of its forms by sanctioning and watching for the
fulfillment of the treatments established during the debate. Within this
essential goal there are also others that they expect all the delegations
present during the development of the commission accomplish. This are: each
delegate in the commission UNFCCC is referred to as a “party”; the behavior is
expected to be exceptional and diplomatic; the vote procedure is of majority; each
party must recognize the need for an effective and progressive response to the
urgent threat of climate change on the basis of the best available scientific
knowledge; each solution proposed must stay in the context of sustainable
development and efforts to eradicate global issues.
The UNFCCC entered into force on 21 March 1994. Many
countries that have ratified the Convention are called Parties to the
Convention. The UNFCCC is a “Rio Convention”, one of three adopted at the “Rio
Earth Summit” in 1992. With 197
Parties, the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) has
near universal membership and is the parent treaty of the 1997 Kyoto Protocol.
In 1992, countries adopted the UNFCCC as a response to
the problem of global warming. Five years later, they adopted the Kyoto
Protocol, which strengthens the Convention by setting legally binding emission
reduction requirements for 37 industrialized countries. The ultimate objective
of both treaties is to stabilize greenhouse gas concentrations in the
atmosphere at a level that will prevent dangerous human interference with the
climate system. The staff of the United Nations Climate Change Secretariat
works towards this goal, guided by the Convention's 195 and the Protocol's 192
Parties. In 2015, governments signed in Paris a new universal agreement on
climate change which comes into force in 2020. They aim to reach an agreement
in which: each country collaborates both now and in long term depending on
their circumstances, prevents global warming, and adapts to climate change.
The Kyoto Protocol is an international agreement
linked to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, which
commits its Parties by setting internationally binding emission reduction
targets. Recognizing that developed countries are principally responsible for
the current high levels of GHG emissions in the atmosphere as a result of more
than 150 years of industrial activity, the Protocol places a heavier burden on
developed nations under the principle of "common but differentiated responsibilities."
The Kyoto Protocol was adopted in Kyoto, Japan, on 11 December 1997 and entered
into force on 16 February 2005. The detailed rules for the implementation of
the Protocol were adopted at COP 7 in Marrakesh, Morocco, in 2001, and are
referred to as the "Marrakesh Accords." Its first commitment period
started in 2008 and ended in 2012.
The Paris Agreement builds upon the Convention and for
the first time brings all nations into a common cause to undertake ambitious
efforts to combat climate change and adapt to its effects, with improved
support to assist developing countries to do so. As such, it generates a new
course in the global climate effort. The Paris Agreement’s central aim is to
strengthen the global response to the threat of climate change by keeping a
global temperature rise this century well below 2 degrees Celsius above
pre-industrial levels and to pursue efforts to limit the temperature increase
even further to 1.5 degrees Celsius. Additionally, the agreement aims to
strengthen the ability of countries to deal with the impacts of climate change.
To reach these ambitious goals, appropriate financial flows, a new technology
structure and an enhanced capacity building framework will be put in place,
thus supporting action by developing countries and the most vulnerable
countries, according to their own national objectives. The Agreement also
provides for a better transparency of
action and support through a stronger transparency framework. 128
Parties have ratified of 197 Parties to the Convention.
On 5 October 2016, the threshold for entry into force
of the Paris Agreement was achieved. The Paris Agreement entered into force on
4 November 2016. The first session of the Conference of the Parties serving as
the Meeting of the Parties to the Paris Agreement (CMA 1) took place in
Marrakech, Morocco from 15-18 November 2016. As the title of the subject of
this commission says, the debate will be mainly focused on the fact that the
United States of America will leave the paris treatment which easily can drive
other countries to follow this behaviour like it happened previously in the
Kyoto treatment. According to this issue, a highly possible consequence is that
the uncontrolled manage of the industries and the different ways of polluting
the earth, turn into a collective health crisis which would affect all the
human being activities. Ana María Toro

Day 1
"United States leaving the Paris Treatment"During the debate, the Republic of India showed a big indignation refering to the United States leaving the Paris Treatment. This party said it was completely disrespectful, and parties such as Republic of Costa Rica and People's Republic of China supported the idea. The Republic of Colombia suggested a santion to the United States. The party of the United States suggested a change in the Paris Treatment specifically in the points related to human actions justifying that this ones are not the ones responsible of the change in global warming and like this concluding the United States is not the responsible. This commentary dirubed the comission, parties as China and India seemed to be confused and Peru confronted it by saying that this party's economy is based in fossil fuels which increases the level of global warming.
The debate was all about China and India competing against the United States untill the crisis was reported. This crisis consisted on Canada, the United States and Germany tenure of companies of oil (petrolium) in Greenland (Denmark) through seismic plastic. Seismic plastic is a pulluting material that harms the wellness of the whales, dolphings and other aquatic species.
When this was announced the comission seemed to get divided in two blocks. One block with the "guilty" parties such as Canada, United States and Germany, and the other block with the rest, Republic of Colombia, Republic of Chile, Republic of India, Kingdom of Moroco, Oriental Republic of Uruguay, the United Kingdom, Frech Republic, Republic of Costa Rica, Republic of Peru, People's Republic of China, Kingdom of Denmark said santions were necessary and Republic of India said it was relevant to remove those companies away.
The two blocks decided to do two different paper solutions and later they decided to merge both of them for a fair solution. The final settlement indicates the previous mentioned countries had to pay a determinated amount of money for investments about this fact and apologize publicly.
Day 2
The Republic of India makes a challenge to the competence. This encouraged by the fact that the United States of America supported the idea of the non-existence of the global warming by human actions. The delegate of the party of India supported it does exist and argued by a quote from the NASSA but this source didn't supported exactly what he said. The challenge was won by the United States because the source used was coherent with the idea she held.
