Global warming position paper

Here's the format. A position paper is a document that expresses a summary of a country's or an organization's position on a specific issue. It needs to be submitted before the meeting, so that delegates can understand each other's positions and make more targeted preparations for the meeting. In the meeting, it can also be used as the main reference material for the official speech of the representative.

I. Contents of the position paper

An excellent position document should be well-founded, accurate in language, and clearly, accurately and forcefully explain the country's position on a certain issue. Broadly speaking, the position paper, as its name implies, is to expound the national position; Specifically, an excellent position paper needs to include the following contents:

1. China's basic position and attitude on this issue;

2. International agreements related to this topic ratified and signed by China, and international cooperation and actions related to this topic that China participated in;

3. The degree of relevance of the country to this problem, and the important actions and bills that China has taken to solve this problem;

4. Relevant suggestions made by the state to solve this problem (including domestic measures and international actions);

5. Important speeches made by domestic leaders and politicians on this topic;

6. Summarized the relevant interests and the bottom line of the country's position on this issue.

In order to further illustrate the specific content that should be included in the position paper, here is an example. For example, when a representative of the United Kingdom Disarmament and International Security Committee writes a position paper on international counter-terrorism cooperation, it should include the following specific contents:

1. Britain's attitude towards terrorism and its basic position in international anti-terrorism cooperation;

2. International anti-terrorism cooperation treaties supported and signed by Britain, and international anti-terrorism cooperation actions in which Britain participates;

3. The terrorist activities in Britain, the relevant measures taken by the British government and the relevant laws adopted to deal with counter-terrorism;

4. How does Britain think the international community should solve the problem of terrorism, as well as specific suggestions for international anti-terrorism cooperation;

5. British leaders' speeches and basic positions on international counter-terrorism on formal occasions;

6. The degree of relevance between international counter-terrorism cooperation and Britain's national interests, and the bottom line of Britain's position on counter-terrorism issues.

Second, the structure of the position paper

Generally speaking, it is reasonable to divide the position paper into four paragraphs, namely, basic position, international action, domestic action and solution. Adopting such a "four-paragraph" article structure can make the position paper clear, comprehensive, interlocking and logical.

The first paragraph expounds China's basic position and attitude on this issue. This paragraph should start with the full text, come straight to the point, and clearly and clearly show the basic position of the country-that is, the relationship between the issues discussed and the national interests, as well as the clear position of the country on this issue. In the following discussion, the full text should be stated around the views and positions of this paragraph.

The second paragraph should briefly describe the international actions related to this topic that the country has participated in. International actions include not only the action plans adopted by countries to solve this problem, but also the contents of relevant international treaties ratified, agreed and signed by China.

For example, when writing a position paper on the topic of global warming, Australian representatives can cite relevant information, data, remarks and policies of their own leaders to support their views, such as: "Australia has signed and fully supported the relevant provisions of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the Kyoto Protocol".

The third paragraph should explain the domestic actions taken by the country to solve this problem. In this paragraph, we should describe in detail the degree of correlation between domestic interests and this issue, and introduce the specific measures and relevant laws adopted by China to deal with this issue.

For example, once again, take the position paper on global warming written by the representative of Australia as an example. The following content can appear in the position paper of the representative of Australia: "According to the data of Australian National Weather and Climate Research Center, global warming is affecting the sea level of the earth to rise at a rate of 3 mm or faster every year since 1993. Sea level rise has seriously affected Australia's coastal lowlands and posed a real threat to some islands in the Pacific Ocean. In 2006, Australian Prime Minister Howard signed a special fund of A $500 million to develop the country's clean energy construction to prevent the adverse effects of climate warming on Australia.

The fourth paragraph puts forward concrete measures and actions that China believes need to be taken at the domestic and international levels to solve this problem. The ultimate goal of the Model United Nations Conference is to solve international problems, so countries should put forward practical solutions according to their own positions and global interests. The solutions proposed in the position paper should be concrete, feasible and reasonable, not general.

For example, on the issue of global warming, Australia can put forward a solution in its position paper: "Australia believes that the fundamental measure to solve global warming is to control energy consumption and develop clean energy. In scientific research, countries should carry out substantive technical exchanges and develop sustainable new energy sources; In terms of climate control, Australia, while following the "common but differentiated responsibilities" in the Kyoto Protocol, urges developed and developing countries to assume more responsibilities for reducing carbon dioxide emissions. "

It should be noted that the position paper has no fixed content requirements, and the above is only the recommended form of writing the position paper. Regardless of the form, the core of the position paper is to fully, clearly and clearly express the country's position on a specific issue. In addition, there is no need to divide the position paper into four paragraphs. If a part has more content, it can be written in two paragraphs, and each paragraph has five to six sentences.
