<li>
<p>We the Greens, could advocate for urgent investment in people and programs to mitigate risks and threats as drivers of unsafe and disorderly migration, and associated violations of human rights and resulting inequalities.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>We the Greens, could support focus on the needs of most at-risk populations in climate adaptation planning and implementation; and include the sustainable development of decent work options to promote greater resilience for communities, particularly from future shocks; and endorse focused long-term planning, not just reactive short-term solutions, to ensure that climate adaptation and resilience measures offers migration as a choice and not a necessity.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>We the Greens, could lobby for effective implementation of financing for loss and damage in climate-impacted countries where displaced communities are at risk of forced migration across borders for their safety and wellbeing.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>We the Greens, could strengthen the establishment of harmonised joint mechanisms to monitor and anticipate risks and threats that may trigger or affect migration movements, including reinforcing early warning systems, developing emergency procedures, toolkits and digital solutions; launching highly efficient emergency operations; and supporting systematic post-emergency recovery.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>We the Greens, could recommend quality systems of recording and accounting for migrants in national emergency preparedness and response, including research, reviews, consultative processes and recommendations, such as outlined in the Guidelines to Protect Migrants in Countries Experiencing Conflict or Natural Disaster (MICIC Guidelines).</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>We the Greens, could monitor the development of adequate investment in adaptation and resilience strategies to reduce risks of displacement, forced and distress migration in the face of sudden-onset disasters as well as slow-onset processes such as desertification, land degradation, drought and sea level rising.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>We the Greens, could provide complementary service provision and increased developments and bolstering of national and regional practices for transit, admission and stay of appropriate duration based on indigenous, compassionate, humanitarian or other considerations for migrants compelled to leave their countries of origin due to sudden-onset climate and environmental disasters.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>We the Greens, could help with the further development of relevant policies that strengthen safe pathways for relocation and resettlement, whilst recognising that adaptation in or return to countries of origin may not be possible with relocation and visa options, including humanitarian visas, private sponsorships, work permits, and inclusive access to education for children.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>We the Greens, could stand for strengthened solutions for and with migrants compelled/forced to leave their homelands due to slow-onset disasters, such as desertification, land degradation, drought, and sea level rise, including devising planned relocation and resettlement strategies, in cases where adaptation in or return to country of origin is not possible. As governments take on the mandate of the 2018 Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration (GCM) to enhance better regular migration pathways, these pathways should account for projected climate displacement. As the climate crisis worsens, governments should develop plans for integrating climate migrants into societies and economies.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>We the Greens, could endorse strengthened international and regional cooperation to improve coherence between the Global Compact Migration and other existing frameworks and instruments, in order to avert, minimize and address loss and damage associated with climate-related displacement and migration, and to ensure that people moving for climate- related reasons receive support, protection and assistance in fulfillment of their human rights. Such frameworks include the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), in particular the Taskforce on Displacement under the UNFCCC’s Warsaw International Mechanism for Loss and Damage (WIM), established and recognized in the Paris Agreement Article 8, to reduce losses and damage from climate change.</p>

Last year, Korea&#039;s gender pay gap stood at 31.5 percent, far above the OECD average (11.7 percent), but the government is trying to abolish public organizations and budgets that have helped promote women&#039;s human rights and expand women&#039;s public participation by denying &quot;structural gender discrimination.&quot; Four years have passed since abortion was ruled unconstitutional, but the institutional vacuum remains and women&#039;s right to reproduce and self-determination is being undermined. Sexual violence against women, such as the reversal of the law on rape, has been neglected and the enactment of a comprehensive anti-discrimination law has still been delayed despite the support of the majority of the public. Sexual minority women are not guaranteed family formation rights and suffer discrimination and infringement in society as a whole.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Violence against women is rampant throughout Asia. Last year, in Iran, a 22-year-old woman named Mahsa Amini was arrested by police for not wearing a hijab properly and died unjustly. In Iran, women&#039;s human rights have been severely restricted, including forcing them to wear hijabs. The death of Mahsa Amini sparked outrage among women who were moaning at the crackdown, and throughout Iran women rose, shouting &quot;Women, Life, Freedom!&quot; This led to the resistance of many citizens as well as women, and the strike of workers.</strong></p>
<p><strong>But the violence didn&#039;t stop. The Iranian government has carried out executions and brutal repression of protesters, and sexual violence has been committed against female protesters. The same is true of Myanmar. Myanmar&#039;s military is committing sexual and other anti-human rights acts against women imprisoned for civil disobedience protests. Myanmar&#039;s minority Rohingya refugee women are also threatened with extreme sexual violence such as kidnapping and rape.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Violence among minorities, including women and non-binary, is serious even in the face of a climate crisis that causes droughts, floods, landslides, and rising sea levels throughout Asia. Exposed to inequality and lack of resources, they suffer from sexual violence and threats to their lives. Sexual violence and exploitation experienced by migrant women occur in a form of overlapping discrimination.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Violence against women is based on long-standing discrimination, oppression, and economic and political inequality. The role of women in the family has been fixed, and women have taken on the role of reproduction, and women&#039;s sex is commercialized and exploited in capitalist society.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Women&#039;s resistance to this violence is taking place in a variety of powerful forms throughout Asia. Women form networks to help and care for each other, form cooperatives to create better living conditions, and politically empower them to create various social changes. These women&#039;s actions play a major role in advancing democracy in society.</strong></p>
<p><strong>We must act together in strong solidarity so that women who want to demand rights and acquire resources of life against violence are exposed to violence again, and the ecological environment and community, which are the basis of women&#039;s lives, are not destroyed.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Ending violence against women requires a political, economic, and institutional basis on which women can take political opportunities and gain power. Greens around the world will share the experiences and policies of feminist green politics based on gender justice and promote the revitalization of these politics across borders.</strong></p></div></div>]]></description>

For this reason, within the framework of climate democracy, and in the construction of the legal framework for Ecocide to be considered an international crime and marked in international treaties.</p><p class="inserted" style="color:#008000;text-decoration:underline;">1) The Greens, in their respective jurisdictions, will work for the construction of the legal framework for Ecocide to be considered an international crime and marked in international treaties.<br>2) The Global Greens support the Ecological Movement of Venezuela (Green Party) in its fight against the extractive project named &quot;Arco Minero&quot;, which constitutes one of the largest ecocides and ethnocides in the world.</p><p class="deleted" style="color:#FF0000;text-decoration:line-through;">We seek articulation and alliances, to defend, recover, protect and make visible the largest ECOCIDE AND ETHNOCIDE in the world that occurs in the Bolivar State in Venezuela, called &quot;Arco Minero&quot;</p></div></div></section><h2>Reason</h2><div class="paragraph"><div class="text"><p>The Venezuelan &quot;Arco Monero&quot; (Mining Arc) is an immense extension of the Venezuelan territory of 111,843 km² close to the south coast of the Orinoco River and which also represents the mark of a policy provided by the government to promote the opening to mining in general, likewise it has as main ambition the function of violently obtaining precious minerals such as gold and coltan. This represents challenging political, social and environmental conditions that are promoted by a failed state promoting anarchy, the absence of the rule of law, non-compliance with international treaties and agreements, and the disproportionate looting of the Nation&#039;s natural and mining heritage.</p>
<p>The Venezuelan Mining Arc not only represents a territorial area of the state, it has a socio-political-economic-environmental impact, which is represented in the environmental area with an extension on the map that covers the Canaima national park, the river basin Paragua River, the middle and upper basin of the Caura River (Caura National Park), the Yapacana National Park, the Alto Orinoco Casiquiare Biosphere Reserve, all of northern Amazonas state and the border. Socially, the extension of mining has caused the promotion of anarchy, has decisively affected the quality of life of Venezuelans, has promoted white slavery, prostitution, and child labor, as well as the violation of the fundamental rights of the most vulnerable groups, highlighting the aboriginal peoples who are persecuted, killed for their defense and/or permanence in these spaces.</p>
<p>Another factor that we can mention inside is the economic sector, where the financial actors are private investors and are the ones who provide the economic resources and enter as financial partners of the political operators of the Venezuelan presidency.</p>
<p>In conclusion, mining in Venezuela, represented by the Mining Arc, has become a submerged activity within a large organized criminal network that reaches all levels of Venezuelan and Latin American political and military power.</p></div></div>]]></description>

Malvinas is one of the forms of colonialism that must be ended, there is an underlying sovereignty dispute between the Argentine and British governments, and the way to find a solution is through bilateral negotiations between both governments.<br>After the adoption of this resolution, a bilateral negotiation process began regarding sovereignty over the Malvinas, South Georgia, South Sandwich Islands and the surrounding maritime spaces, in which both Parties proposed different solution alternatives that did not reach agreement. materialize and in 1973 the General Assembly declared the need to speed up the ongoing negotiations, and urged the two governments to continue them without delay by resolution 3160 (XXVIII).<br>After the 1982 South Atlantic conflict, the General Assembly in November 1982 adopted resolution 37/9 that asked the two governments to resume negotiations to find a peaceful solution to the sovereignty dispute, reiterated by subsequent resolutions of the Assembly relating to the Question of the Malvinas Islands.<br>It is very important that the resumption of negotiations between Argentina and the United Kingdom respond to the need to find a peaceful and definitive solution to the sovereignty dispute, which includes the issue of the conservation of fishing resources and the defense of ecosystems.<br>3).

<p>2) The &quot;Question of the Malvinas Islands&quot;, a dispute between Argentina and the United Kingdom over the sovereignty of the Malvinas Islands, South Georgia, South Sandwich Islands and the surrounding maritime areas, has been present in the United Nations since the very origins of this organization.</p>
<p>At the San Francisco conference, the Argentine delegation presented a reservation of rights according to which the Argentine Republic did not accept, in any case, that the Trusteeship system – which supervised the administration, with a view to its independence, of the so-called “territories non-self-governing” - may be applied to, or over, territories belonging to it, whether they are subject to claim or controversy, or are in the possession of other States.</p>
<p>On December 16, 1965, the General Assembly adopted resolution 2065 (XX), the first to refer exclusively to the Malvinas Islands Question, through which it recognized the existence of a sovereignty dispute between Argentina and the United Kingdom and invited both countries to negotiate to find a peaceful solution to the dispute. Malvinas Islands case is one of the forms of colonialism that must be ended, there is an underlying sovereignty dispute between the Argentine and British governments, and the way to find a solution is through bilateral negotiations between both governments.</p>
<p>After the adoption of this resolution, a bilateral negotiation process began regarding sovereignty over the Malvinas Islands, South Georgia, South Sandwich Islands and the surrounding maritime spaces, in which both Parties proposed different solution alternatives that did not reach agreement and in 1973 the General Assembly declared the need to speed up the ongoing negotiations, and urged the two governments to continue them without delay by resolution 3160 (XXVIII).</p>
<p>After the 1982 South Atlantic conflict, the General Assembly in November 1982 adopted resolution 37/9 that asked the two governments to resume negotiations to find a peaceful solution to the sovereignty dispute, reiterated by subsequent resolutions of the Assembly relating to the Question of the Malvinas Islands.</p>
<p>It is very important that the resumption of negotiations between Argentina and the United Kingdom respond to the need to find a peaceful and definitive solution to the sovereignty dispute, which includes the issue of the conservation of fishing resources and the defense of ecosystems.</p>
<p>3) The ocean is the source of the world systems that make the Earth a habitable place for humanity, the rain, the drinking water, the weather, the climate, the coastlines, our food, the oxygen in the air we breathe in a an immense<br>
proportion is provided and regulated by the sea.</p>
<p>It is necessary to stop the attack against the fishing resources, the UN and international organizations have a commitment to their conservation. We demand that the issue be addressed at the highest level, in all forums where environmental issues are discussed.</p></div></div>]]></description>

Y que es absolutamente necesario incluir en los fundamentos técnicos, no solo los de tipo económico–financieros, sino en el mismo nivel de importancia, los fundamentos de lucha contra el cambio climático y para ello necesitamos el apoyo de los Partidos Verdes a nivel global.</p><p class="deleted" style="color:#FF0000;text-decoration:line-through;">Teniendo en cuenta que:</p><ul class="deleted" style="color:#FF0000;text-decoration:line-through;"><li value="1">Argentina y el planeta se halla en estado de emergencia ambiental y climática. La “emergencia ambiental” no es una metáfora, se palpa, se ve y, sobre todo, la sufren millones de personas en forma de inundaciones, sequías, incendios, contaminación del aire y de los cursos de agua, que enferman a los niños y niñas y las personas de menores recursos. También la falta de cloacas y de agua potable que padecen millones de argentinos, a lo largo y ancho de todo el país, afectan su salud y la calidad de vida.</li></ul><ul class="deleted" style="color:#FF0000;text-decoration:line-through;"><li value="1">Argentina tiene niveles de pobreza históricos. Según el Instituto Nacional de Estadística y Censos (Indec) INDEC en el segundo semestre del año pasado, la pobreza fue de 39,2% y la indigencia de 8,1%. Estos porcentajes implican que en la Argentina hay 18.679.605 de pobres y 3.859.816 millones de indigentes; esta cifra surge de una extrapolación de la cifra de los conglomerados urbanos registrados por el Indec a todo el país y permite medir con mayor precisión el fenómeno de la pobreza en las áreas no alcanzadas por las estadísticas oficiales. Lo que indica que en este momento estamos sobre el 50% de argentinas inmersos en la pobreza, en un país que ronda el 10% de inflación mensual.</li></ul><ul class="deleted" style="color:#FF0000;text-decoration:line-through;"><li value="1">La protección de los bosques, fundamentales para enfrentar las consecuencias del cambio climático, no cuenta con el presupuesto asignado por ley, los gobiernos sucesivamente incumplen las leyes ambientales. El resultado es que la Argentina ostenta el puesto número 9 entre los 234 países que menos cuidan sus bosques, según el índice que publica la Organización de las Naciones Unidas para la Alimentación y la Agricultura. La pérdida de nuestros bosques y humedales principalmente a manos de la creciente sojización y de la expansión ganadera e inmobiliaria, con incendios récord en el país, que consumieron más 450.000 hectáreas en 14 provincias y emitieron 3.427.563 toneladas de CO2.</li></ul><ul class="deleted" style="color:#FF0000;text-decoration:line-through;"><li value="1">Nuestro país está fuertemente afectados por las consecuencias del Cambio Climático debido a su posición geográfica, su litoral costero de casi 7.000 km, y nuestra población híper-concentrada en la Pampa húmeda, dónde ya se hacen evidentes los fenómenos climáticos extremos -inundaciones y sequías-, la pauperización de los suelos, la elevación de los niveles del mar, la degradación de las costas, la desertificación de grandes extensiones, las crisis hídricas del centro y NOA, las inundaciones y sequias del NEA, la perdida de grandes masas de glaciares, la aparición de enfermedades vinculadas a las olas de intenso calor y el impacto que todo esto provoca en los sistemas de salud, que generan pérdidas económicas de más del 1 % del PBI por año.</li></ul><ul class="deleted" style="color:#FF0000;text-decoration:line-through;"><li value="1">La economía decrece y los fondos existentes están destinados al extrativismo y no al cuidado de los bienes naturales y del ambiente.</li></ul><p class="deleted" style="color:#FF0000;text-decoration:line-through;">Sabemos que la deuda externa, en las actuales condiciones ambientales, sociales y económicas de la Argentina no es pagable.</p><p class="deleted" style="color:#FF0000;text-decoration:line-through;">El crédito acordado a la Argentina por el Fondo Monetario Internacional, que constituye el origen de una especulación en espiral ascendente, que se reitera en numerosos países en desarrollo endeudados y redundó en la omisión del deber de conservar y dar un uso racional a la naturaleza en beneficio de las generaciones futuras, con el agravante de que fue factor de destrucción de bosques, contaminación y aceleración del calentamiento global.</p><p class="deleted" style="color:#FF0000;text-decoration:line-through;">Invertir en la protección de nuestros ecosistemas debe ser la prioridad para garantizar los beneficios de nuestros bienes naturales para nuestro pueblo en el combate contra la pobreza, aumentar la resiliencia frente a los desastres naturales, hacer sostenible nuestros compromisos externos y garantizarnos el acceso al crédito.</p><p class="deleted" style="color:#FF0000;text-decoration:line-through;">Existe un esquema posible de renegociación de deuda sobre bases ambientales.

<p>Taking into account that:</p>
<ul>
<li>Argentina and the planet are in a state of environmental and climatic emergency. The &quot;environmental emergency&quot; is not a metaphor, it is felt, seen and, above all, millions of people suffer it in the form of floods, droughts, fires, air pollution and water courses, which make people sick, especially children, girls and people with fewer resources.

<li>The economy is declining and the existing funds are earmarked for extractivism and not for the care of natural assets and the environment.</li>
</ul>
<p>We know that the external debt, in the current environmental, social and economic conditions of Argentina, is not payable.</p>
<p>The credit granted to Argentina by the International Monetary Fund, which constitutes the origin of an ascending spiral speculation, which is reiterated in numerous indebted developing countries and resulted in the omission of the duty to conserve and make rational use of nature in benefit of future generations, with the aggravating circumstance that it was a factor in the destruction of forests, pollution and acceleration of global warming.</p>

<p>There is a possible debt renegotiation scheme on environmental grounds. Argentina can indirectly repurchase its debt with assets denominated in local currency, through the sponsorship of conversion programs with third parties that have foreign currency.</p>
<p>The fight against climate change requires justice and equity of creditors and debtors. There is no doubt that the world and we need to create a fundamental, radical response towards equitable, viable social and economic development.</p></div></div>]]></description>
