National High School Model United Nations 2015 HLPF region; partnerships should involve the whole international community according to the different economic capacities and development statuses of the partners involved. Thus, LDCs should take advantage of the South-South cooperation mechanisms, which seek to establish cooperation networks between two developing states. This mechanism will be useful promoting generalized and steady development in similar regions. North-South cooperation, between a developed and a developing state, could also contribute with expertise, funding, and monitoring to the LDCs. This would assure economic sustainability and good governance of the strategies. This bloc will focus primarily on trying to secure monetary foreign aid since these countries do not have the economic solvency to bear proposed strategies alone. Here the contention will center on how the LDCs would provide favorable economic and political situations to appropriately foster foreign aid. They should be aware that they are the ones that are responsible for keeping the cooperation strategies stable, guaranteeing the accurate investment of money and other resources, and supervising the operation and effectiveness of programs. Other Developing Countries Although they are not the main focus of the issue, this bloc shares several development characteristics with the LDCs. Namely, while they are still developing, they are not categorized as LDCs because their development rates are not as low. This gives them a key role in the debate because they are able to share their country’s experiences with a similar situation. Thus, they are vital for obtaining positive outcomes for the solutions. Therefore, this group of countries should be willing to engage in wide-ranging partnerships with LDCs that focus on technology transfer, good governance, cooperation, and consultation. These states should see the cooperation mechanisms as an opportunity to enhance their development too, while contributing to LDCs’ development through access to energy. Moreover, they should enrich the debate with their experience and good practices promoting South-South cooperation and other mechanisms to enhance the political governance in LDCs and monitoring of the strategies set forth. However, these states should not only seek economic development in these partnerships, but also encourage a comprehensive view of ME and development itself. Through their proposals and arguments these states should promote the continued execution of the strategies, in order to achieve a sustained and steady development. Nevertheless, these are also developing countries that struggle with energy poverty themselves. Hence, the point of contention will be how to contribute to LDCs’ ME and achieve their own energy goals at the same time. These countries should consider how they could help LDCs without damaging their own economies. Moreover, they should discuss how the financing will be distributed. This bloc could reach a contention point when discussing whether the developing countries would have to contribute economically to the partnerships with the LDCs, or whether LDCs should rely entirely on private and international economic aid from developed states. Delegates representing developing states will have to keep all of these considerations in mind. Developed States This group, as the other two, plays an important role in the effectiveness of the proposals of this committee. These countries have the advantage of having high levels of development and thus, good governance and economic capacity. These should be the main areas where developed states aid LDCs, since their capacity to assist them is advanced and stable. Therefore, many countries in this - 43 -
National High School Model United Nations 2015 HLPF bloc will be willing to create economic cooperation partnerships that focus mainly on financing infrastructure and technology for providing modern energy in LDCs. This bloc should be open to contributing advisory and consultation mechanisms that enhance the political governance and capacity of the LDCs. Since they have achieved development already, they have the management and political capacity to help LDCs in improving these areas as well. These partnerships of course should represent an economic benefit for the developed states. These countries should not lose sight of their own policies and situations. On the contrary, they should work with the methods and mechanisms that best suit their positions. In that way they will enhance LDCs while benefiting themselves. However, the point of contention with these states will be how LDCs would ensure favorable economic conditions for their investment and financing. This bloc should explore how they would verify the reliability of LDCs’ partnerships and assess whether the suggested solutions would actually have positive consequences for themselves. This bloc should wonder how their economic cooperation would be spent efficiently and effectively. Therefore, these states will focus on negotiating the conditions in which the partnerships would take place, to ensure their effectiveness, profit, and reliability. COMMITTEE MISSION HLPF faces quite a particular challenge since the situation of LDCs is so complex and demanding. In order to effectively address the topic the Forum must be aware at all times of the multiple vulnerabilities of LDCs and how those influence their development status and capacity. Hence, delegates must acknowledge the limitations LDCs have in terms of governance and funding and should reflect these in their proposals and solutions. Nevertheless, solutions should still comprehensively address the needs of LDCs in energy access and development. Moreover, HLPF should always conceive sustainable development broadly. This means that delegates should target their solutions with the environmental, societal, and economic aspects of sustainable development in mind. They should include in their proposals and positions all aspects of modern energy, such as infrastructure, technology, monitoring, usage, environmental impact, and financing. Additionally, HLPF should constantly tie back all the discussions to development as a whole and avoid singularly delving into isolated aspects. Furthermore, according to the Forum mandate, the solutions proposed by HLPF should be politically oriented and encourage concrete strategies towards sustainability. This implies that the solutions should foster an inclusive view of energy access in LDCs. Thus, they should not only cover the infrastructural and technological aspects of providing modern energy. On the contrary, the solutions must aim for long-term strategies with sustainable execution and progress. Therefore, delegates should focus on initiatives that target development fully. Finally, no country alone can address this issue effectively. The topic calls upon great willingness to engage in comprehensive strategies that benefit global development. The states must be willing to create executive strategies that ensure long-term sustainability of energy provision, their sustained execution, monitoring, and usage. However, these solutions should still be realistic and mindful of the LDCs’ limitations and needs. - 44 -
