Title: The Environmental Treaty of Wellow
Post by: RobertAgira on December 29, 2018, 08:05:57 PM
On the 29th December 2018 a group of nations from the Alucard agreed to abide by these targets and initiatives. The treaty was then opened up for the rest of Mundus to join them in their goals.

Quote from: ETW

Recognizing that Mundus is currently dependent on non-renewable resources

Understanding that a time will come in the future when these resources are depleted

Convinced that climate change is a man-made phenomenon

Concerned that levels of pollution of all kinds are raising

The signatory nations of this agreement agree to do all that is within their powers to fulfil the following aims.

1. Limit global temperature increases to within 2.0C (3.6F) of those recorded during the 19th Century.

2. Limit the amount of greenhouse gases emitted by human activity to the same levels that trees, soil and oceans can absorb naturally by 2070.

3. Remove 75% of plastic packaging by 2025.

4. Remove all fossil fuelled road vehicles by 2030

5. Reduce pollution caused by air travel by 35% by 2030.

6. Create 3million square km of new forests by 2040.

7. Remove at least 40% of plastic from the oceans by 2040.

8. Nations with a GDP per capita of $40,000 or more to produce at least 70% of their electricity from non-fossil fuel sources by 2050. Nations with a GDP per capita lower than $40,000 to aim for 50% by 2060.

9. Reduce pollution caused by public transport to zero by 2040.

10. The amount of green spaces within urban areas to increase 10% by 2030.

11. Reduce food waste by 50% by 2040.

12. All students to receive education on how to better protect the environment by 2021.

13. Halt or reverse the trend of ocean acidification by 2030.

14. For each nation to have 10% of their Exclusive Economic Zone as defined by the FSC protected as marine reserve by 2050.

In order to help nations achieve these aims the following shall be established

I - An Environmental Bank . It is expected but not compulsory for signatory nations to make an annual donation to this bank. The Environmental Bank may also accept funds from philanthropic contributors of all kinds.

a)This Bank shall be overseen by a committee made up of one representative of each nation.

c) The committee shall vote on whether to approve the funding and a simple majority shall be needed to release the funds.
d) Nations receiving funding are required to present regular reports on the progress of funded projects.

II- The Environmental Review Conference - All signatory nations to meet every two years to review each nations progress towards these aims and share research. This conference shall be open to all non-signatory nations. Furthermore targets may be adjusted by a majority vote dependent on new research.

III - The Wellow Environmental Institute - An institute made up of members of all signatory nations who shall undertake research projects on behalf of the members. It shall have a seat at the Conference and act independently of national control. It shall be free to make any recommendations that it wishes. It shall also spread best practice between all nations.
