Climate Change And The Importance Of Climate Finance In The Realm Of The Paris Agreement

The entirety of the civilized world has agreed that climate change is one of the most challenging quandaries plaguing our modern day economic, social and environmental security. Due to the complex nature of climate change, several large scale initiatives have been introduced within developed nations in order to mitigate and reduce these harmful effects. These initiatives include programs for the advancement of renewable energies, increased technological advancement for the reduction of carbon pollution and training pipelines for more climate sustainable job opportunities.

However, the largest problem associated with these advancements stems from the issue of finance and funding: how do we accumulate the necessary monetary requirements for these programs to take off? The more critical issue within this dimension lies in access to these funds for developing nations to utilize for the production of these initiatives mentioned before. During my experience at the Model United Nations 2017 Conference B under the United Nations Environmental Assembly (UNEA), my fellow delegates and I engaged in intense research into crafting possible solutions to help solve this perplexing issue.

In order for developing nations to have access to the proper funds required to promote these kinds of initiatives, there must be increased global cooperation between Member States of the United Nations, but more fundamentally between nation states across the globe. Cooperation efforts must be consolidated to give necessary climate finance resources for developing nations in the realms of technology, renewable energy, job training pipelines and educational initiatives in order to reduce the effects of climate change. LDC countries contribute to climate change and also face the most risks associated with environmental damage in regard to climate change.

Among other things, our research showed that there must be greater efforts for the international community to come together for the purpose of sharing ideas between experts in the field of climate change for sound and proper solutions to be broadcast and promoted across the globe. In addition, our research pointed to the need to develop financial instruments and initiatives, such as advanced global funds, the use of climate bonds and the introduction of tax incentives and production tax credits for renewable energy and sustainable business practices in order to augment private sector development for the purpose of climate finance. Among other things, our research in NMUN's UNEA pointed to a greater involvement in the rest of the world to augment developing nations for the purpose of technology production.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
