1. main points to consider about the issue - in your own words (make this v brief - it can be bulleted or listed) • Sea levels are rising in an incessant manner starting with the global warming from a couple decades ago • Several floodings have already destroyed marine habitats as well as land based ones, substantially affecting bird species • If this trend continues, some of the largest cities will be under sea level 2. what the international community has already done to address this issue (treaties, resolutions, conferences etc.) (again keep this brief - it can be bulleted or listed) • the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCC) • To finding ways to reduce global warming and to cope with its effect on the environment and populations. With 192 State Parties, the Convention enjoys universal membership. • The Bali Actions Plan 2009 • To support the negotiation process towards the achievement of a comprehensive global agreement by 2009, even though it’s still in progress 3. your country's point of view about this issue and reasons for this point of view (what has been said by leaders, action already taken, views of allies etc.) • Colombia has note yet implemented the bali action plan to its full extent due to economical constraints caused by the global crisis • It has signed the Kyoto protocol and has followed its guidelines successfully 4. at least three solutions that your country would propose to address this issue (these then serve as ideas for your clauses on this issue) • Important to raise awareness of the causes of climate change, most importantly carbon emmissions • Moving populations from hazard zones and potential danger areas away from them • Preserving marine life from potential danger zones

Urges for member states to restrict migration and development in risk areas, in order to 1. Reduce the potential damage and casualties from natural disasters caused by sea level rise

Calls for member states to reinforce their biomarine sustainability efforts, in order to preserve them, through 1. Increased funding towards state specific efforts 2. Raising awareness about the issue
