The+use+of+biofuels+in+the+efforts+towards+sustainable+development

As a developing country, Sudan does not have the financial means and social demands for the use of biofuels. Even though the importance of urbanization and transportation in the Sudanese society increases every day, the government does not have the economic reserves to support or create a use of biofuels. Furthermore, the country of Sudan does not dispose of enough qualified people to successfully introduce biofuels to the people. Another constraint for the Sudanese government would be that does not have enough agricultural produce to convert into the production of biofuels and the country therefore recognizes that the actual creation of biofuels will have devastating impacts on Sudan’s socio-economic scene. Nevertheless, Sudan recognizes the crucial role biofuels play in the context of sustainable development. Because Sudan is a developing nation, such sustainable development will be vital for the country’s long-term objectives of development and environmental awareness. Moreover, if biofuels were to replace fossil fuels, the fast increase in the Sudanese use of transport will not aversily affect current issues of heated debate, such as global warming and pollution. Sudan therefore welcomes any kind of foreign financial donations in order to introduce the correct skills and resources to effectively introduce the use of biofuels.

1. Urges a responsible approach towards the development and introduction of biofuels by :

a. guaranteeing that international food prices will not skyrocket as a consequence of the development of biofuels. b. Making sure that not only MEDC’s will enjoy the benefits of biofuels by establishing free-trade in the distribution of biofuels. This will enable all countries to have equal chances to benefit from the cleaner and cheaper technologies brought by biofuels

2. Suggests that in the context of a global financial crisis, biofuels will not considered more important than a stabilization of international food prices or the development of LEDC’s by

a. establishing reinforced trade agreements between MEDC’s and LEDC’s b. emphasizing open dialogue and comprehensive debate

3. Urges the U.N. Security Council to create a resolution reaffirming these necessities in order to prevent a globally escalated conflict over food and energy resources from being developed
