Position Paper Timor Leste

The rising international water level is the vital result of climate change. As the
sea waters warmed, they grew. Likewise, as wind temperatures heat, liquid from
melting ice sheets, polar ice caps, and glaciers, begin into our water basins. Global
water level growth is measured by tide gauges, which give international estimations
since the decades, and by satellites, which do indeed since 1993.
In urban settings along coastlines around the globe, growing sea levels threaten
the structure needed for local business and regional industries. Roads, bridges, subways,
food supplies, petroleum and gas wells, power plants, waste treatment plants, landfills,
and others are all at risk from water rise.
Change at the international water level in the future is predicted to happen at a
faster pace. The measure of water level rising depends in large part on the measure of
weather. According to the IPCC Fourth Assessment Study (2007) by the mid-2090s
world water level may take 22 to 44 centimeters over its 1990 point and growing to
around 4 mm per year. Their average structure for all scenarios except RCP 8.5, the
worst of their four scenarios, constitutes almost one-half meter by 2100. Yet in the
worst case, there is a 95 percent chance that sea level increase can take not as much as
one measure by 2100. The risks and prices associated with future water level growth
have been heavily publicized. Computer visualizations of upcoming flooding reveal the
inundation of low-lying regions, including the disappearing of some low-lying islands
(University of Houston Energy Fellows, Jun. 2018), Timor-Leste for example.
Timor-Leste is so vulnerable to the impacts of natural disasters and climate
change that it causes direct and long-term impacts on life in Timor-Leste. Today caused
by climate change, not only on human life and biodiversity but also by the water
resources in Timor-Leste if not reduced. If we can reduce our consumption of sand and
fossil fuels and expand the range of protection for coastal ecosystems, we might be able
to avoid some of the research’s dire predictions. Local communities have experienced
seasonal weather changes such as erratic rainfall and long dry seasons, resulting in crop
damage or failure. A disaster for the livelihoods of people living in certain areas is
brought about by the unseasonal weather events associated with climate change.1
With all the explanation above, Timor-Leste would like to propose the AID for
CoAST, which consist of:
1. Adapting
Adaptation is done using new scientific methods in order to study the
phenomena that occur. It is intended to advancing understanding of the impacts
of climate change and is related to the prevention of disasters that occurs.
Adapting is also a thoughtful attempts the need to curb emissions from
fossil-fueled transportation, concrete mills, and deforestation.
2. Improving
Improving the cultivation of coral reefs and mangroves can help prevent
sea-level rise. Existing natural ecosystems can help humans overcome the
problem of rising sea levels caused by climate change.
3. Developing
Developing green technology such as non-fossil public transportation,
the using of renewable energy, nature-based home-building, and insulation
programs. We believe that these methods we could make to address climate
change, especially sea-level rise could better the quality of our lives.
All of that together can be made possible by the course of the goal of Climate
Change Communication of Awareness to Survive the Transition as a view and
warning for countries that have intentionally or not caused climate change in this world.
Timor-Leste is open to anything for discussion or any other proposal that will help this
council and other coastal communities to find the best way to prevent climate change
especially sea level rises and also continue to contribute with ideas as long as we can.
