| 3 | Bearing in mind the People of Pakistan have been facing severe floods caused by the degradation |
| 4 | of forests, leaving over 30 million Pakistanis internally displaced. |
| 5 | |
| 6 | Noting economic decline caused by a lack of jobs and industry has left many Pakistanis in rural |
| 7 | areas in poverty. |
| 8 | |
| 9 | Requesting $6,000,000 from the United Nations Environmental Programme. $5,000,000 of which |
| 10 | will be used to purchase 10 million ready to plant trees. $500,000 will go towards purchasing tools |
| 11 | and hiring instructors to teach local workers how to transport, plant, and care for the trees. The |
| 12 | remaining $500,000 will go towards paying the local workers, 5000 workers at $10 an hour for 10 |
| 13 | hours. |
| 14 | |
| 15 | Emphasizing these trees will restore 200,000 acres of lost forest near the north end of the Indus |
| 16 | river, combatting the floods in Pakistan by providing greater absorption of water into the ground |
| 17 | via tree roots and a larger canopy of leaves for the water to evaporate from. The wages to the |
| 18 | workers will put money back into the economy as the workers spend their money in local |
| 19 | businesses to buy food and supplies, stimulating further growth. |
| 20 | |
| 21 | Noting the government of Pakistan currently has neither the resources nor the man-power to |
| 22 | accomplish this feat to end the destructive flooding. |
