Opening Speech
Thank
you Honorable Chair,
The
Republic of Estonia believes that the issue of deforestation is
affecting millions of animals, plants and even people. In the last
decade the amount of logging has been growing due to the expansion of
human activities.
Therefore,
the government of Estonia has been trying to deal with this issue by
implementing sustainable energy projects and promoting ecological
balance. Estonia is part of many different international
organizations working with reforestation and other environmental
activities, for example the Forest-based Technology Platform, which
provides information about ongoing EU-funded forest related research
projects.
To
stop deforestation, we propose to create an international
organization funded by the contribution of a percentage of each
country’s GDP. This organization would promote the investigation of
ways to reduce clear cutting, and specialists would give lessons to
teachers and students about nature. Our second proposal would be to
establish a quota for a maximum logging of 5% of the total forested
area in each country. We also encourage all the countries to create a
law in which companies that cut down trees have to replant them.
In
conclusion, we think that it is now up to us, the entire world, to
combat deforestation. We should cooperate and solve the problem
united together. We cannot let deforestation continue jeopardizing
the lives of animals and people.
Thank
you for your time.
