Topic: Climate Change.

Country: Sweden.

Thank you and good morning/ afternoon.

Honorable chair, guests and fellow delegates; The Kingdom of Sweden is extremely privileged
to be part of this conference and to have the chance to find suitable solutions for a crucial
environmental issue like climate change.
This is the most urgent of times,
Rising sea levels, storms, floods, droughts and crop failures are all impacts of climate change
that no nation, whether large or small, wealthy or poor, can escape.
Sweden’s current goal is to create a society with no net GHG emissions by the year 2050. so the
country started a mitigation strategy that includes having vehicle fleet completely rid of fossil
fuels by 2030.
Being a more economically developed country .Sweden’s Expenditure on R&D (research and
development) for innovative sustainable solutions is represented 3.3 per cent of GDP in 2013, the
fourth highest percentage in the OECD.
The time we have to reverse this tide is running out.
So the delegation of Sweden strongly encourages each and every country to move forward with
us to collaboratively generate new and effective adaption and mitigation strategies to provide
better climate to as many of the world’s people as possible.
 Committee: The environmental committee.
Topic Area: Climate Change.
Country: Kingdom Of Sweden.

In Sweden, 74% of the national energy supply comes from hydroelectric and renewable
sources and a thorough legislation aims at further reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Sweden’s goal to reduce GHG emissions compared with 1990 by 40 per cent by the year
2020, and to have a vehicle fleet that completely doesn’t rely on fossil fuels by 2030 are
stepping stones to the overarching goal of a society with no net GHG emissions by the
year 2050.

The length of the growing season which is the number of days when the average daily
temperature for a single period is over 5 degrees, is expected to increase by one to two
months throughout Sweden, except in the far south where the increase is estimated to be
up to three months. A higher mean temperature of 3 degrees means that Sundsvall in the
north of Sweden in the future will have the same average temperature as Stockholm
today.
Kiruna tops the list of cities where temperatures currently have risen the most, with a
temperature rise of 3.4C in the 21st century compared to the 20th. Also in the top ten are
Östersund and Sundsvall with a temperature increase of 2.7C and Skellefteå and Luleå
with 2.5C.

One example is the melting of glaciers; earlier this year, a glacier on Sweden's
Kebnekaise Mountain melted away so much that it lost its status as the country's highest
point. During July 2018, researchers found that the glacier had lost four meters of snow,
meaning that an average of 14 centimeters melted each day of July.

High temperatures, drought, and devastating wildfires over the summer are linked to
climate change, which have had negative consequences on crops as well as animals such
as reindeer and elk. We urge everyone to think about the future of their children and the
generations to follow. Money is temporary but the consequences of human activities on
Earth are permanent and will remain to build a worse future.

Sweden was the first country to establish an environmental protection agency, in 1967
and In 1972 Sweden hosted the first UN conference on the environment, which led to the
creation of the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP), the leading global
environmental authority to this day.
And to add, Sweden is the world’s largest per capita donor to the climate funds. Swedish
public climate finance amounted to SEK 6.2 billion in 2018, of which SEK 4.3 billion
was channeled through Sida.
On September 22ed 2019, in its initiative in climate efforts, the Government is choosing,
among other things, to bring forward outstanding payments to the Green Climate Fund
(GCF). The fund is crucial for the financing of developing countries’ commitments under
the Paris Agreement and of climate change adaptation measures and emission restrictions
in developing countries. The increased climate aid will be used for the following
initiatives:

• SEK 500 million in outstanding payments to the GCF will be brought forward. In 2019,
a total of SEK 1 060 million will thus be provided to the GCF. Among other things, this
means investments in renewable energy projects such as large-scale solar cell plants or
investments in geothermal energy, as well as energy efficiency initiatives. Climate
change adaptation measures involve such initiatives as flood defenses and investments in
meteorological weather and warning systems.

 SEK 340 million will be provided to the Swedish International Development

Cooperation Agency (Sida) with the aim of strengthening efforts within the
environmental and climate change area in Africa, Asia, Latin America, Eastern Europe,
the Western Balkans and Turkey. This investment is expected to strengthen the
countries’ capacity and ability to implement national commitments under the Paris
Agreement.
Also, on September 24th 2019 Sweden and India have launched a global leadership group
to push the climate transition in heavy industry. The initiative was presented by Prime
Minister Stefan Löfven during the UN Climate Action Summit in New York.
Substantially reducing emissions from heavy industry is crucial if we are to be able to
attain the goals of the Paris Agreement. In Sweden, we have come a long way in our
industry transition, and co-leading this work gives us the opportunity to share our
experiences and help accelerate the transition, says Mr Löfven.

The leadership group has been developed in cooperation with the World Economic
Forum and will gather both private and public actors. The countries and companies that
join the group must be ready to substantially raise and pursue efforts to reach net-zero
carbon emissions by mid-century. This will be guaranteed through a series of ambitious
commitments that the members of the leadership group must support. The leadership
group will also work to promote innovation and technology exchange, and share
experiences of how governments, academic institutions and businesses can cooperate to
push the transition. The group will have regular meetings to report on progress and share
experiences, including in connection with the UN’s climate negotiations.

In addition to Sweden and India, Argentina, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland,

Luxembourg, the Netherlands, South Korea and the United Kingdom have joined the
group. Several international companies have also joined, including Indian Dalmia Cement
and the German steel group ThyssenKrupp. Among the Swedish companies in the
leadership group are Scania, which is conducting a project to develop fossil-free heavy
goods vehicle transports and SSAB, LKAB and Vattenfall, which, through their jointly
owned company HYBRIT, are conducting a project to make steel without using coking
coal.

Those efforts, all are, and will contribute to the process of healing Earth of its hopefully
not-everlasting disease. The Swedish consider the climate change as a threat to human
life and human welfare. It should be addressed and fought to somehow not throw the
planet of its normal track.

The kingdom of Sweden takes the global battle against climate change seriously. The
country accepts as true that reducing GHG emissions and the use of fossil fuels in
production is the key to combat climate change. Also, it is believed by us that there ought
to be consequences for countries that contribute to climate change by burning fossil fuels,
diminish agricultural spaces and deforestation. We suggest that taxes or fines must be
imposed on those countries if they exceed the limit that will be presented later on.

Signatories:

We the members of the environmental committee,

Recognizing that climate change represents an imminent and potentially and irreversible threat to human
societies, future generations to follow and the planet,
Recognizing that drastic global climate change is a challenge facing every country on every continent,
Realizing that human activities that use fossil fuels such as coals, natural gas and petroleum have mostly
contributed to the release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere,
Realizing that there are many other factors that contribute to environmental degradation such as nuclear
waste, coastal degradation, etc,
Being aware of the importance of sustainable forest management which will contribute significantly to
promote environmental sustainability, and to mitigate the effects of climate change,
Noting that Northern Swedish cities such as Kiruna, Östersund and Sundsvall see the effects of climate and
global warming more than anywhere else in Europe.
Also Recognizing the need for coordination within and between all nations for the full potential of
conservation for climate change solutions to be realized and perverse outcomes for biodiversity
conservation avoided, and
Noting the opportunities arising from the Paris Agreement for nature-based solutions that build upon
conservation and ecosystem-based mitigation and adaptation,
Referring the guidelines and standards set by the United Nations framework convention on climate change
(UNFCCC) and the Kyoto protocol.
Admitting that unsustainable economic growth and development and unfriendly environmental
policies have contributed to damaging and polluting the environment,
Considering that natural resources and living environment are integral parts of national and intra-
national development endeavours of countries,
Recognizing the responsibilities of developed countries and international institutions to finance and
transfer new technologies to deal with the environmental degradation effectively and to reiterate the
importance of devising a proper mechanism,
Concerned that rising sea levels pose an existential threat to small islands developing states (SIDS),
 We, therefor:
1. Urge countries in the world to reduce their dependency on the non-renewable natural resources by
developing eco-friendly technologies and materials and renewable energy resources;

2. Encourage utilization of renewable natural resources to ensure sustainability for the benefits of
present and future generations;

3. Recommends the establishment of multiple regional climate change centers in order to assist
developing countries with the development, acquisition, and implementation of greenhouse effect

4. Recommend the formation of an international environmental organization that aims to reduce the
impact of climate change, especially the rising sea level affecting countries such as Italy, Canada, ..
etc.

5. Suggest the imposing of taxes and fines on countries exceeding the limited pollution level whether by
exceeding the maximum level of GHG emissions, deforestation or diminishing of wildlife spaces
which directly affects the biodiversity of species that’s necessary for the existence of the human
welfare.
6. The funding of the organization will be provided by taxes imposed on companies exceeding the limit
of greenhouse gases, and the limit will be determined by an in international group of scientists.
7. The defenses will contain water desalination plants.
8. The water produced will be used for industrial and agricultural purposes such as watering trees to
increase the green space that has been decreasing in some countries rapidly, and if some countries are
concerned with the lack of land for the process of planting, they can invest in other countries that
might be in need.
9. The defenses will reduce the sea pollution, since they will have containers that sea plastic will be
collected in, and recycled for other purposes.
10. Frequent reports of endangered species provided by the IED of each country. The frequent following
up of recovering desert area and turn it into green space.
11. Restrictions on the burning of fossil fuels in production.
12. Urge towards the replacement of vehicles that rely on fossil fuels with those that are continuously
chargeable.

In our resolution we recommend the formation of an international environmental department (IED) of

countries that are ready to build a better future which can fin
