Green Transport
A resolution to increase the quality of the world's environment, at the expense of industry.Category: EnvironmentalIndustry Affected: AutomotiveProposed by: United Penguin States of Antarctica
Noting that greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuel-powered automobiles can significantly reduce the quality of air breated by inhabitants of many member states, and
Believing that such emissions must be reduced across the multiverse,
The General Assembly hereby:
- defines "public transport" as transport that can be used by individuals to move throughout a nation or any political subdivision thereof without using modes of transport owned by themselves or other individuals,
- urges member states to invest in and promote public transport,
- requires members to:
- ensure that all public transport that operates within their jurisdiction is powered using renewable energy sources, including but not limited to electricity, and
- reduce the reliance of their inhabitants on modes of private transport that rely on fossil fuels such as oil, coal and gas,
- strongly recommends that members ensure that workers in fossil fuel-centred industries who may become unemployed as a result of measures taken under Article 3 or otherwise find decent and fairly-paid employment elsewhere (including in fields relating to renewable energy), and
- re-establishes the International Vehicular Emissions Authority (IVEA), and tasks it with helping small and developing member states (upon the request of those states) to:
- fulfil the requirements of Article 3 and the recommendation of Article 4, and
- reduce and (where the IVEA deems it necessary) eliminate those nations' dependence on fossil fuels.

Wow thanks! I apologize for the "strong" in the environment category, honest mistake on my part. Also, I appreciate that you made that, I will make sure to edit my proposal, and yes, it was of very much utility.

North Supreria wishes the ambassador of the United Penguin States of Antartica luck with reformulating and re-evaluating the proposal. Our advice is to use the Tinhampton ambassador's proposal as a basis. North Supreria is curious about the updated proposal and eagerly awaits.

Clause 2 reads awkward. Does it mean that electric vehicles can only be charged from a port where the elctricity is coming from an renewable source?

If I may I ask do you have an idea on how I can change the yeards to a true proposal? I'm not trying to sound sarcastic by the way, I just want to know how to make the proposal better. Also, for your second question, it would be coming from a renewable source of energy. It doesn't necessarily mean it has to come from a port, for example bio-fuels could be used.

North Supreria has some questions and feedback on the proposal that the ambassador of Tinhampton made, following the improved proposal by the ambassador of United Penguin States of Antartica. North Supreria wonders why it was decided to define this term, as we see it clearly described in the dictionary. In addition, the ambassador of North Supreria, a graduated geographer, would like to call on the authors of this proposal to reconsider whether CO2 is the right term to use. The ambassador's eyes have to endure a lot, because of the 2 that is not at the bottom of the O, but next to it. Perhaps it would be better to switch back to terms previously used or some other substitute.

We wonder whether this clause is relevant. The aim of this proposal is, if I have understood correctly, to make transport as climate neutral as possible. The extra addition that these modes of transportation must run on electric power does not seem necessary for North Supreria.
