| 1 | To the General Assembly, |
| 2 | |
| 3 | Emphasizing the fact that Peru has one of the largest number of oil and gas exploration and |
| 4 | extraction in South America |
| 5 | |
| 6 | Also acknowledging that 41% of the rainforest is covered in 52 separate oil and gas companies |
| 7 | Stressing the fact that many of these oil blocks cause many indigenous people from the area to |
| 8 | face health risk such as cancer, respiratory functions, and possible brain damage |
| 9 | |
| 10 | Bearing in mind that contamination in nearby water sources from the rainforest threaten the |
| 11 | environment and human health of many |
| 12 | |
| 13 | An alarming estimate of 250,000 square miles of undisturbed Amazon Rainforest, home to 12 |
| 14 | million people, has been set aside for potential oil and gas drilling |
| 15 | |
| 16 | The Delegation of Peru hereby: |
| 17 | |
| 18 | Request the reduction of oil extraction and gas by enacting policies to reduce oil and gas demands |
| 19 | and emissions, prioritize renewable energy sources, and provide incentives to create an effective |
| 20 | development of sustainable alternatives. Encouraging these sustainable alternatives will ensure |
| 21 | long term preservation of the Rainforest |
| 22 | |
| 23 | Seeking that the United Nations provides 26 million to support renewable energy projects and |
| 24 | funding to research for sustainable energy alternatives. While this money may not cover all the |
| 25 | cost it would benefit the Amazon Rainforest and its people drastically. |
| 26 | |
| 27 | Trust that the United Nations will take action by January 1st, 2025 |
