Even though the Republic of Sudan is not directly threatened by the melting of glaciers worldwide, it is still concerned with the impact these meltdowns can, and ultimately will, have on the world. The Global Land Ice Measurements from Space (GLIMS), a satellite project launched as part of NASA's Earth Observing System, monitors the planet with a stereoscopic imaging system aboard the Terra spacecraft. Conclusions from the yearly three to five images of all permanent land ice have alarmed Sudan of the severity of the situation and the acceleration in the melting of glaciers that has occurred in more recent years. A study by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has pointed out that the melting of the glaciers will lead to a large-scale diminishing water supply within the decades to follow in Latin America. Sudan is deeply concerned with this issue because it is well aware of the importance of water supplies in the context of a peaceful future. It is therefore that Sudan is ready to support the cause whether morally, or financially, if it were given economic support by other nations.

1. Suggests that an international U.N. convention be organized in order to clarify the role of Less Economically Developed Countries in the melting of glaciers in order to: a. discuss the impact of LEDC's on global warming and the melting of glaciers b. assess the responsibility of MEDC's towards LEDC's in combating the melting of glaciers

2. Demands that an internationally recognized financial support system be created in order to fund key players in global warming that can not afford to counter it

3. Requests that an unbiased international investigation be carried out in order to assess in detail the impact by nations on global warming and the melting of glaciers in order to prevent unnecessary international tension regarding the issue Even though the Republic of Sudan is not directly threatened by the melting of glaciers worldwide, it is still concerned with the impact these meltdowns can, and ultimately will, have on the world.
