Question

as a step towards reducing the global carbon footprint?

As you already know, half the question is down here.........

This question should be answered as if you are representing Botswana in the UN General Assembly.........

If you can give me any information on what Botswana's stance on this topic is, I would greatly appreciate it........

Think of being in the Second Committee, in the GA!!!!!

Answer 1

Let me guess--model UN? :)

Botswana would most likely be against something like this, because fossil fuels provide a much cheaper way to provide energy for its citizens. This is very important in such a developing country.

There might also be oil reserves in Botswana--I would look into that if I were you. Alternative energy would be a significant hardship, and one of Botswana's main arguments against it would also be that the technology is simply not there yet.
