Greetings,
Delegates.
 
 My
name
is
Riley
Price,
and
I
will
be
the
chair
for
the
United
Nations
Development
 Programme
(UNDP)
at
NIMUN.

It
is
my
distinct
pleasure
to
welcome
you
to
NIMUN’s
 UNDP.

The
UNDP
is
at
the
forefront
of
development
efforts
worldwide,
helping
to
 raise
the
standard
of
living
for
some
of
the
world’s
poorest
nations
and
peoples.

It
is
 arguably
the
most
important
agency
of
the
UN,
performing
humanitarian
work
and
 helping
people
worldwide
lead
better
lives.

The
UNDP’s
major
areas
of
work
include:
 the
promotion
of
democracy,
poverty
reduction,
the
elimination
of
HIV/AIDS,
and
 helping
developing
nations
lift
themselves
in
to
the
developed
world.

In
order
to
 meet
these
lofty
goals,
the
UNDP
is
actively
engaged
in
hundreds
of
philanthropic
 projects
worldwide.


 
 During
our
simulation
of
the
UNDP,
you’ll
learn
about
some
of
the
most
urgent
 problems
facing
the
world
today,
as
well
as
what
is
being
done
to
fix
them.

You’ll
 also
develop
an
understanding
of
what
the
UN
does
to
aid
people
who
are
in
the
 greatest
need
of
assistance.

Finally,
you’ll
have
fun.

The
topics
you’ll
be
researching,
 debating,
and
passing
resolutions
upon
are
some
of
the
most
interesting
problems
 facing
the
world
today.
 
 It
is
my
sincere
hope
that
you
will
enjoy
participating
in
the
UNDP
as
much
as
I’ve
 enjoyed
preparing
it.

 BACKGROUND:
 One
of
the
most
critical
issues
in
infrastructure
today
is
environmental
friendliness.

 From
transportation
systems
to
factories,
from
power
plants
to
waste
management,
 much
of
today’s
infrastructure
takes
a
toll
on
the
environment.

Leaders
around
the
 world
are
faced
with
the
dilemma
of
either
sacrificing
necessary
services,
or
seriously
 damaging
the
environment.

This
problem
is
especially
acute
in
developing
nations,
 which
are
just
beginning
to
establish
critical
infrastructure,
and
cannot
bear
the
 financial
burden
of
ensuring
all
new
development
projects
are
environmentally
 sound.

Nevertheless,
environmental
friendliness
has
increasingly
become
a
global
 priority,
as
the
extent
of
the
damage
caused
by
pollution,
climate
change,
 deforestation,
and
other
such
phenomena
has
become
better
understood.


 
 One
particularly
important
piece
of
this
problem
is
energy
production.

Much
of
the
 world’s
power
comes
from
non‐renewable
and
polluting
hydrocarbon
fuels,
such
as
 oil,
coal,
and
some
types
of
biomass.

These
fuel
sources
are
easy
to
obtain
and
use,
 relatively
inexpensive,
and
widely
available.

However,
they
emit
Carbon
Dioxide
(as
 well
as
a
variety
of
other
unpleasant
toxic
substances)
when
processed.

Carbon
 Dioxide
contributes
to
something
called
the
“Greenhouse
Effect”
by
entering
the
 upper
atmosphere
and
trapping
heat
beneath
it.

This
phenomenon
is
capable
of
 causing
dramatic
and
sudden
shifts
in
global
weather
patterns.
This
has
several
 possible
undesirable
effects;
just
a
small
number
of
examples
include:
rising
sea
 levels,
water
scarcity
and
drought,
flooding,
an
increase
in
violent
storms
(hurricanes,
 tornadoes),
shrinking
polar
ice
caps,
and
desertification.

In
order
to
minimize
further
 damage,
steps
must
be
taken
to
reduce
emissions
of
carbon
dioxide
and
other
 “greenhouse
gases”.

One
key
step
towards
the
resolution
of
this
problem
is
 switching
to
renewable,
non‐polluting
power
sources.

A
renewable
power
source
is
 one
that
generates
power
by
consuming
only
resources
that
replenish
themselves
 naturally
(sunlight,
wind,
plants).

A
non‐pollutant
power
source
is
one
that
does
not
 emit
any
substances
that
harm
the
local
environment.


Examples
of
non‐polluting,
 renewable
resources
include:
wind
power,
solar
power,
hydroelectric
power
(dams),
 geothermal
power,
and
some
biofuels.

All
of
these
are
examples
of
sustainable
 power
sources
that
are
currently
used
in
some
parts
of
the
world.

Although
their





cleanness
makes
them
ideal
power
sources
in
theory,
implementing
them
is
often
 difficult.

They
are
more
expensive
and
somewhat
less
efficient
than
traditional
 hydrocarbon
fuels.

Many
of
these
renewable
power
sources
are
not
yet
fully
 developed;
with
time,
these
problems
will
be
resolved.


 
 One
well‐developed
non‐polluting
energy
source
is
nuclear
power.

Although
it
is
the
 most
efficient
non‐polluting
power
source,
it
is
also
by
far
the
riskiest:
nuclear
 meltdowns,
such
as
the
disasters
at
Chernobyl
and
Fukushima
Daichii,
have
horrific
 consequences.


Despite
the
occasional
disaster,
nuclear
power
is
overall
clean
and
 efficient.

Whether
or
not
clean
and
efficient
power
is
worth
the
risk
is
a
matter
that
 is
still
being
debated.

As
it
also
poses
a
security
threat,
it
is
not
being
pursued
as
a
 power
source
for
the
developing
world.

Public
opinion
has
also
turned
against
 nuclear
power
(perhaps
unfairly)
since
the
meltdown
at
the
Fukushima
Daiichi
plant
 in
Japan
in
the
wake
of
the
tsunami
that
struck
the
country
in
2011.

Although
 traditional
fission
based
nuclear
power
does
not
seem
likely
to
be
an
important
part
 of
the
global
power
system
at
the
moment,
research
into
an
alternative
type
of
 nuclear
power,
nuclear
fusion,
is
extremely
promising.

Although
it
is
decades
away
 from
being
practical,
nuclear
power
based
on
fusion
has
tremendous
theoretical
 potential.
 
 
Photovoltaic
(also
referred
to
as
“solar)
power
will
be
another
key
piece.

An
 advantage
of
solar
power
is
that
many
developing
countries
are
in
regions
that
 receive
large
amounts
of
sunlight.

However,
solar
power
is
still
expensive
and
 inefficient.

It
is
still
under
development,
with
advanced
photovoltaic
power
sources
 only
emerging
on
to
the
market
in
recent
years.

More
reliable
and
established
forms
 of
renewable
energy
include
wind
power,
hydroelectric
power,
and
biomass/biofuels.

 These
power
sources
are
older
and
simpler.

They
are
also
a
little
bit
more
susceptible
 to
fluctuations
in
output,
because
their
usefulness
varies
with
respect
to
natural
 conditions.

A
wind
farm
is
useless
on
a
calm
day,
and
it’s
impossible
to
build
dams
 without
rivers.

Biomass
and
biofuels
(which
are
extracted
from
biomass)
are
fuels
 extracted
from
plant
material.

Although
they
are
renewable
(plants
grow
back),
they
 tend
to
be
highly
pollutant.

Biofuels
are
cleaner
than
raw
biomass,
but
are
still
under
 development.
Hydrocarbon
sources
(such
as
oil
and
coal)
are
non‐renewable
because
 they
are
formed
by
a
natural
but
extremely
lengthy
process.


Petroleum,
the
mostly
 widely
used
hydrocarbon
power
source,
is
a
fossil
fuel.

The
remains
that
ancient
 biological
organisms
such
as
algae
deposits
leave
upon
their
death
are
processed
 over
a
long
period
to
form
petroleum
reservoirs,
which
can
be
drilled
and
used
a
 source
for
petroleum.

Besides
being
non‐renewable,
petroleum
also
releases
a
large





amount
of
Carbon
Dioxide
when
processed,
harming
both
the
local
and
global
 environment
by
contributing
to
the
greenhouse
effect.
 
 Other
experimental
renewable
power
sources
exist.

Besides
solar
power
and
nuclear
 fusion,
some
new
types
of
geothermal
and
biofuels
are
under
development.

These
 new
technologies
yield
increased
efficiency
at
a
reduced
expense
(both
 environmental
and
economic).

Ocean
technology,
which
harnesses
the
power
of
 currents,
has
the
potential
to
augment
clean,
renewable
energy
in
coast
areas.

 Nanotechnology,
a
field
still
in
its
infancy,
also
promises
some
new
energy
generation
 techniques,
such
as
artificial
photosynthesis.

Although
promising,
most
of
these
 exotic
technologies
are
well
away
from
playing
any
major
part
in
global
energy
 infrastructure.

The
focus
should
remain
on
usable
methods
of
renewable
power
 generation.
 
 In
some
parts
of
the
world,
non‐polluting,
or
“green”
energies
are
already
in
use.

In
 the
United
States,
green
energy
currently
accounts
for
a
little
more
than
11%
of
all
 electrical
production.

In
Europe,
it
accounts
for
more
than
11%.

Both
regions
are
 planning
extensions
to
their
current
green
energy
installments.

The
European
Union
 has
set
a
target
of
having
20%
of
their
energy
come
from
green
sources
by
the
year
 2020,
and
they
are
presently
on
track
to
meeting
that
goal.

Both
regions
have
 powerful
incentives
for
pursuing
green
energy
beyond
merely
the
environmental.

 Currently,
many
of
their
non‐renewable
resources
(such
as
oil
and
coal)
are
 purchased
at
high
prices
from
distant
and
not
always
friendly
countries.

Shortages,
 abrupt
changes
in
price,
or
trade
shut
downs
can
devastate
the
economy
and
 infrastructure
of
these
regions.

Much
of
the
research
and
construction
of
renewable
 energy
sources
also
occurs
in
these
regions.

Thus,
in
Europe
and
the
USA,
renewable
 energy
sources
are,
for
political
and
economic
reasons
as
well
as
environmental
ones,
 widely
regarded
as
wise
investments.


 
 Unfortunately,
these
benefits
do
not
hold
as
much
sway
in
the
developing
world.

 Developing
countries
tend
to
have
abundant
supplies
of
renewable
resources
(wind,
 sun,
and
rivers
for
wind
power,
solar
power,
and
hydroelectric
power,
respectively),
 but
may
also
have
abundant
supplies
of
conventional
hydrocarbon
resources.

 Technologies
for
converting
hydrocarbon
fuels
into
energy
are
somewhat
more
 reliable,
available,
and
inexpensive
than
most
renewable
energy
processing
 technologies.

On
a
positive
note,
renewable
power
sources
do
work
very
well
in
the
 remotest
regions
of
the
developing
world,
where
they
can
be
implemented
without
 the
worry
of
purchasing
and
processing
hydrocarbon
fuels.

For
this
reason,
there
has





been
a
growth
in
research
for
methods
to
implement
renewable
power
in
rural
areas
 in
recent
years.

These
efforts
have
met
with
success
in
most
cases.

Rural
areas
are
 of
particular
concern
because
they
often
use
crude
biomass
for
all
power
needs.

 These
crude
biomasses
are
extracted
from
the
earth
in
particularly
destructive
ways,
 and
are
some
of
the
most
pollutant
fuel
sources
in
the
world.

Traditional
solid
fuels
 (wood)
are
burned,
releasing
significant
amounts
of
greenhouse
gasses.

The
 collection
of
such
fuels
is
often
destructive,
because
workers
who
collect
traditional
 solid
fuels
are
rarely
trained
or
educated
about
environmental
sustainability.

They
 also
pose
a
severe
health
risk,
by
emitting
noxious
fumes,
and
often
pose
a
fire
 hazard.

Fortunately,
renewable
power
sources
have
some
of
their
highest
potential
 impact
in
such
impoverished,
undeveloped
areas.

Renewable
power
sources
can
be
 installed
on
an
ad‐hoc
basis
with
relative
ease,
whereas
traditional
power
sources
 require
dramatically
more
effort,
centralization,
and
money.

Although
promising,
 many
of
these
implementations
have
yet
to
fully
materialize,
because
renewable
 power
sources
are
still
rather
expensive,
despite
recent
improvements
and
cost
 decreases
in
the
technology.
 
 Whether
or
not
renewable
energy
sources
can
be
implemented
by
private
industry
is
 a
matter
of
debate.

Investment
from
international
organizations
such
as
the
UNDP,
 and
domestic
subsidies
in
many
countries
are
widespread
practices
due
to
the
 importance
of
renewable
energy.

Despite
these
circumstances,
renewable
energy
 sources
must
be
profitable
in
the
long
term
if
they
are
to
become
the
world’s
primary
 source
of
power.


This,
more
than
any
other
reason,
is
why
continued
research
into
 more
efficient
and
inexpensive
renewable
power
sources
is
so
important.


 
 International
organizations
have
an
important
role
to
play
in
aiding
renewable
 energies
as
they
take
their
place
in
global
infrastructure.

Renewable
energies
 present
partial
solutions
to
more
than
one
problem.

They
are
an
important
tool
for
 achieving
the
goal
of
environmental
stability,
usually
emitting
far
fewer
pollutants
 than
hydrocarbons/fossil
fuels.

They
are
also
an
important
to
the
general
goals
of
 poverty
reduction
and
development.

Many
of
the
world’s
poorest
people
will
be
 affected
most
by
shifts
in
climate.

They
also
tend
to
rely
most
directly
on
the
natural
 world
for
their
livelihoods
(subsistence
farming,
resource
gathering,
etc.).

 Renewable
power
sources
are
power
sources
that
can
more
easily
be
implemented
 on
a
smaller
scale,
providing
residents
of
the
most
remote
areas
of
the
world
with
life
 changing
access
to
power
while
simultaneously
protecting
their
livelihoods
from
 potential
losses
at
the
hands
of
climate
change.

Many
initiatives
have
been
started
 under
multiple
UN
programs.

Much
of
the
current
work
for
sustainable
energy





comes
from
the
United
Nations
Development
Programme
(UNDP).

Among
their
 projects,
they
have
emphasized
those
programs
that
help
train
nations
to
implement
 their
own
renewable
energy
plans.

Educating
nations
about
the
importance
of
 environmental
sustainability
and
giving
them
the
tools
they
need
for
energy
 independence
are
two
important
points
in
any
program
on
this
topic.

 
 Although
almost
all
nations
would
benefit
immensely
from
global
renewable
energy,
 a
small
set
of
nations
remains
consistently
opposed
in
practice.

These
nations
are
 usually
members
of
the
Organization
of
Petroleum
Exporting
Countries
(OPEC)
group
 (although
the
United
States
has
shown
a
lack
of
leadership
so
striking
it
seems
 almost
obstructive).
OPEC
nations
have
a
strong
financial
incentive
to
do
everything
 in
their
power
to
ensure
fossil
fuels
remain
in
widespread
use
for
as
long
as
possible.

 OPEC
member
states
are
all
developing
nations.

Most
of
their
member
states
are
in
 the
Middle
East,
with
a
few
member
states
in
Africa
and
South
America
as
well.
OPEC
 has
a
history
of
being
used
for
the
collective
economic
benefit
of
all
of
its
member
 states,
as
well
as
being
used
to
serve
their
political
purposes.

The
Secretary
General
 of
OPEC,
Abdullah
al‐Badri,
has
been
quoted
saying
that
“oil
is
not
responsible”
for
 climate
change
–
which
is
essentially
untrue.

Although
OPEC
has
supported
various
 environmental
initiatives,
they
have
also
opposed
the
abandonment
of
fossil
fuels
for
 cleaner
energy
sources.

OPEC
nations
have
generally
been
careful
to
avoid
being
 overly
direct
in
their
opposition
to
environmentally
friendly
energy,
but
they’ve
still
 obstructed
its
implementations
whenever
the
opportunity
presents
itself.

 
 SOLUTIONS:
 Promoting
the
use
of
renewable
energy
throughout
the
world
is
more
of
a
goal
than
 a
project;
there
are
an
enormous
number
of
smaller
development
projects,
research
 projects,
educational
projects
and
outreach
projects
that
are
a
part
of
reaching
this
 goal.


 
 One
possible
task
is
the
creation
of
a
platform
that
can
be
used
by
non‐governmental
 organizations,
private
companies,
governments,
and
scientists
to
coordinate
 sustainable
energy
development
projects.

Such
a
platform
would
provide
clear
 structure
and
support
to
renewable
energy
projects
worldwide.

Although
there
are
 approximations
of
such
an
organization
(for
example,
the
Global
Environment
Fund
 and
the
UNEP),
nothing
quite
so
well
focused
currently
exists.
 
 An
important
piece
of
any
solution
is
helping
to
bolster
energy
independence.

Many
 countries,
both
developed
and
developing,
rely
heavily
on
imported
energy.

This
has





the
disadvantage
of
being
expensive
and
unstable
in
price.

It
is
also
usually,
though
 not
always,
imported
in
the
form
of
hydrocarbon
fuels,
which
are
not
normally
 environmentally
sound.

Price
fluctuations
can
have
huge
effects
on
developing
 countries.

In
many
such
countries,
energy
prices
account
for
a
disproportionately
 large
expense
on
lower
income
groups,
and
shifts
in
price
can
have
massive
effects.

 A
renewable,
sustainable
system
would
resolve
many
problems
by
providing
people
 with
local,
more
reliable,
less
expensive
power.

It
would
also
stimulate
local
 economies
by
creating
employment
and
income
sources.

Renewable
energy
is
 closely
tied
to
development
goals
in
this
regard.
 
 Helping
researchers
develop
newer
and
better
technologies
for
converting
 renewable,
sustainable
resources
into
usable
power
is
one
more
key
component
of
 promoting
environmentally
friendly
power
sources.

One
key
player
in
research
is
the
 private
sector.

Much
research
into
more
efficient
renewable
energies
comes
from
 the
private
sector.

Many
governments
also
subsidize
and
fund
their
own
research
 programs.

This
is
a
good
investment,
as
renewable
energy
is
ultimately
expected
to
 be
very
profitable.

Acknowledging,
aiding,
and
advocating
renewable
energy
 research
is
a
measure
conducive
to
bringing
about
an
emergence
of
renewable
 energy
worldwide.
 
 Finally,
calling
for
incentives
to
switch
to
and
develop
renewable
power
may
be
 helpful
in
some
cases.

In
some
countries,
assistance
(financial
and
technical)
is
 needed
if
renewable
energy
is
to
have
any
hope
of
being
used.

In
others,
market
 forces
or
conflicts
of
interest
prevent
a
rapid
switch.


Economic
concern
will
 ultimately
be
a
massive
factor
in
driving
a
switch
to
renewable
energy,
and
its
 potential
should
be
used
in
order
to
promote
renewable
power
and
sustainable
 development.
 
 QUESTIONS
TO
CONSIDER:
 1‐ Where
does
your
country
get
its
energy?

How
much
energy
does
it
import?

 Would
it
benefit
from
renewable
energy?

If
so,
how?
 2‐ Does
your
country
already
have
renewable
energy
sources?

(Dams,
wind
 power,
solar
power,
etc.)
 3‐ Does
your
country
have
potential
for
renewable
energy?

(By
being
located
in
 a
very
sunny
place,
or
near
rivers,
or
somewhere
where
wind
farms
could
 easily
be
installed)





4‐ Do
most
people
have
energy
access
in
your
country?

Or
do
they
tend
to
go
 without
energy
from
any
modern
source,
and
the
benefits
provided
by
it?
 5‐ 
How
badly
would
your
country
be
affected
by
climate
change?

(Countries
 with
large
coastal
areas,
islands,
deserts,
or
a
lot
of
farms
would
be
affected
 the
worst.

Inland
countries
without
farms
or
deserts
would
be
affected
to
a
 lesser
degree.)
 6‐ Is
your
country
a
member
of
OPEC?

If
so,
how
might
this
affect
your
policy
 towards
renewable
energy?

Why?
 7‐ Would
the
expense
of
switching
your
country’s
energy
sources
to
renewable
 be
big
enough
to
stop
your
country
from
implementing
renewable
energy
 until
the
cost
came
down?

If
so,
what
would
your
country
like
the
 international
community
to
do
in
order
to
make
installation
easier?

is
an
important
 issue
that
is
not
widely
understood.

For
the
sake
of

I
have
opted
not

explain
it
thoroughly
here.

Nevertheless,
I
