The UNEP from the inside, a balanced point of view
Today the UNEP comMitTeE discusSed their topic B, which concerned infrastructures and their impact on the environment. The delegate of Iraq, one of the most active of the comMitTeE, who was briefly interviewed, described the sesSions' outcome until this moment for us . In the second moderated caucus the delegates toOk two very difFerent parts: countries such as RusSia, UK and Brazil favoured the realization of new infrastructures to facilitate national economic growth, while others amongst whom Japan, Turkey and South Africa promoted a more preservative and safe atTitude in view of posSible negative efFects of infrastructures on the landscape and biological equilibrium. Despite alL of this, the delegate thinks a general resolution wilL be reached in view of the atTempt to give the same priority to both matTers. In fact, as the delegate of Iraq herself pointed out, the wealth and biodiversity of a country should be safeguarded and incentivized equalLy.
