| 1 | Recognizing the urgent need to address the adverse impacts of global warming and climate |
| 2 | change, particularly in vulnerable nations like the Solomon Islands, |
| 3 | |
| 4 | Emphasizing the critical importance of immediate action to mitigate and adapt to climate change, |
| 5 | ensuring the security, well-being, and sustainability of the Solomon Islands and other at-risk |
| 6 | regions, |
| 7 | |
| 8 | Reaffirming the principles and goals of the Paris Agreement, the Sendai Framework for Disaster |
| 9 | Risk Reduction, and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, |
| 10 | |
| 11 | Acknowledging the significant challenges posed by rising sea levels, extreme weather events, |
| 12 | ocean acidification, and loss of biodiversity in the Solomon Islands, |
| 13 | |
| 14 | Noting the limited financial resources of the Solomon Islands Government to address these climate |
| 15 | challenges independently, |
| 16 | |
| 17 | Taking into account the shared responsibility of the international community in addressing the |
| 18 | global warming crisis and supporting climate resilience in vulnerable nations, |
| 19 | |
| 20 | Establishes a Global Climate Resilience Fund (GCRF) with an initial allocation of one million dollars |
| 21 | to support the initiation of climate resilience and mitigation projects in the Solomon Islands; |
| 22 | |
| 23 | Urges developed countries, international financial institutions, and philanthropic organizations to |
| 24 | contribute to the GCRF and commit additional funding to expand the climate resilience efforts in |
| 25 | the Solomon Islands; |
| 26 | |
| 27 | Encourages the Solomon Islands Government to allocate the initial one million dollars towards |
| 28 | priority areas such as: |
| 29 | |
| 30 | agriculture initiatives; |
| 31 | |
| 32 | turbines in vulnerable communities; |
| 33 | |
| 34 | community engagement; |
| 35 | |
| 36 | |
| 37 | Calls upon the international community to provide technical expertise, capacity-building support, |
| 38 | and knowledge transfer to enhance the effectiveness of the initial one million dollars allocated for |
| 39 | climate projects in the Solomon Islands; |
| 40 | |
| 41 | Recognizes that the initiation of these projects represents a small step towards comprehensive |
| 42 | climate resilience and mitigation efforts and underscores the need for continued collaboration, |
| 43 | international partnerships, and additional funding to scale up initiatives in the future; |
| 44 | |
| 45 | Invites all member states of the United Nations to support this resolution and work collectively to |
| 46 | address the global warming crisis and provide climate resilience support to the Solomon Islands |
| 47 | and other vulnerable nations. |
| 48 | |
| 49 | This resolution acknowledges the constraints of an initial one million-dollar budget and focuses on |
| 50 | prioritizing specific climate projects that can be initiated with this limited funding. It emphasizes |
| 51 | the importance of international collaboration and the need for additional resources to expand and |
| 52 | sustain climate resilience efforts in the Solomon Islands over the long term. |
