UNSCHR Day 3--Live Blog from the floor of the UN

Education, I’m sure we can all agree, is an extremely important right guaranteed by the universal declaration. This became even clearer as I saw the passion with which students from all over the world responded to this issue over the past 2 days.

An educated youth is a youth which is fully equipped to solve the problems that have plagued our forefathers. And we simply refuse to allow the education of children and adults around the world to be disrupted by global warming.

Education could in fact mean the end to some of the problems that cause global warming and it is for this reason that we have passed the following resolution.

The student delegation

5.1 Requests that when natural disaster strikes a vulnerable area, Non-government organizations, national governments, and international governments work together to provide the continuance of education to families who have been affected by the disaster, that states adopt measures which guarantee education for those who reside in areas vulnerable to natural disaster, and that the global community as a whole provides educational tools to the students in areas affected by global climate change

5.2 Emphasizes the necessity of building shelters to avoid the use of schools as shelters, disturbing the academic development of the youth who reside in the affected area,

5.3 Exhorts the educational sector to engage in the practice of training citizens of vulnerable areas in the science of teaching so as to improve the overall education of said vulnerable area, thus establishing a global standard for education, while respecting the cultures and religions of the population

5.4 Urges governments to implement public policies of which the general population are aware, involving it actively and passively, and in agreement with the features exposed, and those established in the pertinent treaties

5.5 Calls governments to aid in the assistance of groups in financial despair due to global climate change, so the education of these groups is not disrupted

The president of the General Assembly said it best. "Love, love, and love. Because it is the only thing that will save our world."
