The United Nations Environment Programme committee,

Deeply concerned by the impact of climate change, and strongly believing that coordination
should remain at the heart of our response,

Considering the numerous adverse effects of climate change, which include the threat to
biodiversity and especially to populations of developing nations,

Remembering the many lives lost in the Californian fires of 2018 and the recent Australian

bushfires, and the many species harmed in the burning if the Amazon,

Noting that countless research papers such as the report "Climate Action and Support Trends",
published by the United Nations at the UN climate change summit 2019, that show with
scientific certainty the possible devastating effects of a rise in global temperatures,

1. Urges all member states to hold data-based TNCs responsible for their impact on the
environment by:
a. Constraining them to give member States a warning at least 3 days before all

environmental catastrophes such as but not limited to:
i. Hurricanes,
ii. Tsunamis,

iii. Tornadoes,
iv. Drought;
b. Holding them accountable if their predictions are false, inaccurate or
nonexistent by obliging them to pay for 70% of all unpredicted collateral

damage caused by their failure to provide necessary information,
c. Providing the data necessary to their sustainable development;

2. Encourages the reduction of pollution and the optimisation of the transport sector by:
a. Eliminating unnecessary travel and lightening traffic by putting people in
contact thanks to AI and its algorithms thus connecting different users and

grouping them into routes to reduce greenhouse gas emissions,
b. Setting up, in connection with this action, a subsidy on petrol or tolls for persons
using this cooperation system;
