Delegates of the Australian-ASEAN Youth Summits urge our collective governments to enforce a higher tax for high-income earners. A select percentage of this tax will then be placed in a social relief fund designed to be accessed by those facing extreme poverty and homelessness. The other portion of this added tax will be placed back into the community to improve infrastructure and educational facilities further. This aims to provide better services to limit the economic disparity between the richest and poorest citizens of our respective countries.

Main 4 Issues:

Renewable energy

Reduce coal and fossil fuels

Climate adaptation resilience

Warning systems

critical facilities should be resilient to severe weather

more resources to combat disasters.

Social collaboration between communities.

Sustainable Agriculture

Nature repair

Land usage

Sustainable farming techniques and technologies

Who pays?

Those who can afford to fix it should provide to the ones who cannot.

Brainstorm:

Issues:

Vulnerable to natural disasters

Farmers, people living in poverty, people living in the coast.

Sustainable Agriculture

Renewable energy

Recommendations:

Policies to reduce amount of fossil fuel intensive transport. E.g. motorcycles.

Cost is an issue for renewable energy resources.

Raises question of who pays?

Those who can afford it should subsidize.

Nature repair:

Grow more trees. Implement it into industry as a source of income. Can help better the environment for the future, as well as making changing right now.

Drastic impact on environment due to companies deforesting. Reiterate the number of trees that are allowed be logged to companies.

Incorporate sustainable farming techniques/technologies.

Builds self-sufficiency, encourages renewable energy.

Reduce coal and fossil fuels

Social collaboration between communities.

Climate resilience

Implement warning systems for natural disasters.

Ensure critical facilities are resilient to severe weather.

Have more resources to combat natural disasters, especially in housing.

Build natural disaster facilities

The media in Australia and in other countries is a driving force in stereotyping and belittling minorities and those less fortunate. A suggested recommendation is making laws to fine media programs and platforms when publishing statements that put down others intentionally.

This isn't true for all media, though. Some are good at reducing inequalities.
