| 1 | Noting with concern that Serbia is highly dependent on using coal or other energy sources that are |
| 2 | not environmentally friendly for electricity, which are, |
| 3 | |
| 4 | Bearing in mind that the Serbian government has encouraged efforts to increase the use of solar- |
| 5 | powered power plants for electricity in the past few years across the country, |
| 6 | |
| 7 | Taking note that many countries, organizations, businesses, alliances, communities, and cities are |
| 8 | also pushing for renewable energy sources as the main source of power in effort to tackle climate |
| 9 | change in the hopes of a clean, healthy, and unpolluted Earth, |
| 10 | |
| 11 | Realizing that the use of coal and fossil fuels for energy are polluting the earth, destroying |
| 12 | habitats, and contributing to the melting of the polar ice caps through emitting greenhouse gasses, |
| 13 | |
| 14 | Fully aware of the success of other governments, businesses, and organizations using solar energy |
| 15 | or other forms of green energy instead of using fossil fuels or coal for electricity, |
| 16 | |
| 17 | Seeking the benefits of solar energy that include low cost, easy to manage, little CO2 emissions, |
| 18 | and other benefits that lead to a healthy planet, |
| 19 | |
| 20 | The General Assembly hereby: |
| 21 | |
| 22 | Calls upon the United Nations Environment Programme to contribute $45 million to assist with |
| 23 | setting up the solar power plants and to maintain the power plants, |
| 24 | |
| 25 | Further recommends that these actions take place within close proximity to residential areas in |
| 26 | Serbia, where energy transport would be easiest and will cost the least amount of money, |
| 27 | |
| 28 | Noting that the amount of energy solar panels produce can depend on a variety of factors, so it is |
| 29 | important to construct the power plants where the panels can generate the most electricity, such |
| 30 | as areas that get a lot of sun with cold weather to maximize efficiency, |
| 31 | |
| 32 | Encourages other governments and organizations to further use solar energy for electricity to |
| 33 | increase efforts to slow down climate change and the destruction of habitats across the world. |
