Environmental Program

​

In the environment council the main topic was ilegal logging, no one was actually in favor because, as Arabia declared, ilegal logging is responsible for the global warming. So the big discussion was how they would try to stop this, a lot of ideas came up, first one was Philippines suggesting that they should stimulate the knowledge of this problem throw media and education, but not all of the countries approved that because it is a long term process. Philippines also suggested that some countries could help others with money and resources but Norway disagreed saying that there was no reason for doing that, because it would be obvious that those countries would use the money for others things. China suggested trying to figure it out which countries are  exporting and importing so that they could stop and punish them, and that idea was approved by Nigeria and Philippines. Another Topic was about Amazonia, which all the countries were in favor to "steal" Amazônia from Brazil, declaring that Brazil wasn't taking the necessary care, but Brazil blamed the other countries for causing that problems and also said that he was able to solve it. Still talking about Amazonia which had just went throw a crisis due to the fire, and they discussed wether Brazil, a country that can't even handle a fire, is able to take care of a whole forest that is important for everybody. But Brazil said that he is able to take care of the forest but not alone, if all the countries benefit themselves with this ecosystem they also need to help in a financial way. But that idea was denied by Philippines that brought again the subject that Brazil can't keep Amazonia because it is not prepared, due to the actual situation from the country. Due to the fact that the fire was still happening china suggested to send water, but that ideia was despised by Philippines because it is a short term resolution and it won't help when the next problem shows up. In other hand, USA is helping Brazil, saying that it would be good to make Amazonia internacional but they can't just take away form Brazil, it makes part of Brazil's economy. Indonesia also agrees with USA not only due to the economy but also because there are Brazilians living in Amazonia and it isn't right to ignore them. As a result of this discussion Amazonia will still be part of Brazil.

Atomic Energy Council

​

The meeting of the Atomic Energy Commission, chaired by Mariana Ammon and Clarice Möller, aimed at the aware and safe use of atomic energy, which can be a great source of energy or a great danger to people and the environment. After the introduction of each delegate and quick opening speeches presenting the position of each country regarding atomic energy, which was seen by all of them as very important if not essential, began the first debate about investment management and radioactive waste. Although all of the delegations acknowledged the dangers of having radioactive waste around cities, many ways to handle it were suggested; burying it, recycling it and storing it safely in the surface. All of these solutions come with the risk of an atomic accident, which could mean an environmental disaster. To decrease such risks, it was proposed that the countries taking part in the conference split into groups that had similar positions concerning the importance of atomic energy and wrote resolutions on the topic "Management of Radioactive Waste". The first group, made of Japan, Russia, Iran, India, Ukraine, North Korea, United Kingdom, Pakistan, Argentina and France, defends that atomic energy is, indeed, an irreplaceable energy source. The other five delegations in the committee, Sweden, USA, Brazil, Germany and China, acknowledge the importance of atomic energy sources, but think of it as replaceable. Both of the resolutions will be read and voted on by the entire council on the second day of AleMUN.

A discussão foi iniciada com a diferença entre o uso medicinal e recreativo. Após os EUA e a Federação Russa apontarem como isso é tratado em ambos países, os Países Baixos botaram em questão o fato de álcool ser legalizado e cannabis, não. Como todos países têm não só divergências políticas, mas também culturais, a Federação Russa, por exemplo, apresentou a bebida como um costume cultural. As repercussões da descriminalização na economia e suas vantagens/desvantagens também foram assunto de discussão. Na hora do debate moderado, os delegados se dividiram em dois grupos: os com política liberal e os conservadores. O primeiro grupo teve os Países Baixos, EUA e Portugal como autores de um rascunho da resolução, incentivando os direitos humanos e a legalização da maconha. Os conservadores tiveram Federação Russa, Egito e Indonésia como autores, que tiveram como decisão deixar a pena de morte como critério decada delegação. O dia terminou com os delegados se reunindo com os chairs Felipe Kadow e Nicolas Amaral com a intenção de começar a escrever  a resolução.
