"Opening Statement"

Good afternoon delegates of the house and chairperson. My name is Sharry and along with Yukari. I represent about our country Tuvalu. Today our delegation is here to discuss one of the most aggravating issues in the world -global warming and energy use. As all of you aware, Tuvalu and the Solomon island is threatened by global warming ang enery use. For example, people can see and feel threaten especially when the ocean crashes into their bedrooms more and more nights every year. In addition, water in Tuvalu and the Solomon island is changing to salination water by degrees. As a result, crops is difficult to harvest because of salination of groundwater. Three-quarters of the plants have died. It makes difficult to live in Tuvalu and the Solomon island. Our country achieve economic self-sufficiency. Many people are difficult to move to another country. We need more help from developing countries because we cannot solve this ourselves. Thank You for your attention.

How can the speed of global warming be reduced?

people who live in Tuvalu are eco-friendly, we do nothing that hurts earth, so we do not have any measure to prevent progress of global warming. Please help.

How can we adapt to the challenges faced by climate change?



Because of global warming we are suffering from rise in sea level. It salify the ground, and we cannot grow plant and crop. This means that we lose the way to get food. We the citizens of Tuvalu will be starving. Also, we have only small territory, so from the first there is a little water. Lack of fresh water has been further by salification of the ground. Furthermore, owing to rise in sea level, a number of flood occur: compare with 10 to 15 years ago it is getting bigger problem. For instance, our house is broken by flood or tsunami easily, so we cannot live in our country anymore. Some people already left Tuvalu.

 

people who live in Tuvalu hardly produce garbage: we even use leave of Palm tree, so we do not have any incinerator plant. However tourist come and they throw away trash, so now piles of garbage is gathered in Tuvalu. It hurts coral and lead to pollute ocean.

The higher water temperature, the bigger hurricane formed. Our island is small and sea level is rising, so we can easily flood and sink.

How can a greener world economy be created?
