There appears to be a current divide between the less and more “industrialized economies” (The Delegation of Bulgaria) in the World Health Organization. Arguments are breaking out as both sides of the economic margin are blaming each other for the effects of healthcare due to current climate change. MEDCs feel that LEDCs have more responsibility and do have enough funds to implement more environmentally-friendly actions and have so far minimally put some pressure on emerging nations such as Guyana, Philippines, and Pakistan. However, third-world nations believe that due to first-world nations’ wealth, it is their duty to create and/or invoke a variety of NGOs focussing on climate change education.
A leader in renewable energy, the Netherlands has taken a stance of neutrality in trying to remind the committee that each individual nation has an equal role in reducing greenhouse emissions to thus lower its effects on health care as all nations are part of one unified world in which we share. Following its role, other industrialized economies are trying to implement a variety of renewable energy sources as they can afford it. Furthermore, these nations believe that even industrializing nations do have the funds to invoke some forms of renewable energy. However, LEDCs are contradicting this ideal as due to their generally larger populations, fossil fuels allow for a much more economically beneficial route for energy and power.
After interviewing the delegates from various developing nations, it is clear to see that different regions of the world depend on a different aspects of this topic thus creating broad and diverse arguments that must be taken into account when resolving this international issue. For example, “ water security is a crucial ideal for nations in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA)” (The Delegation of Tunisia). However across the Atlantic, the delegate from the nation of “Guyana”, which already has a significantly less carbon emission rate the majority of the globe, wishes to see developing nations take more action in their own states as they have the economy for it. Apparently, the West has a “waste of carbon emissions” (The Delegation of Guyana) and needs to counteract the consequences on the planet and global healthcare caused by its actions.
Overwhelmingly however, education is the main concept that has irrefutably been supported by nations across the globe. Larger countries such as the United States has created wide support of a resolution that focuses on the principle of education such that future generations will be able to evolve our efforts so that in total, any and all health effects caused by climate change will be significantly reduced.
