22. Calls for the establishment of specific committees to study climate change in those

parliaments where they do not exist, so that they are aware of and analyse all the problems

related to sustainable development in order to promote measures and strategies to prevent

and alleviate them;

23. Urges donor countries and international development agencies to take a responsible

approach and play a leading role in integrating disaster risk reduction and reproductive

health measures, in particular consideration of the rights to sexual and reproductive health

of each individual, into development planning and programmes, to ensure that

aid-supported development activities contribute to disaster risk-resilient development;

24. Calls on all parliamentarians to make combating corruption and illegal financial flows a

priority, as these significantly affect the mobilization and proper allocation of resources to

the detriment of the environmental components of sustainable development programmes;

25. Urges donor and recipient countries to focus increasingly on promoting national resource

management, particularly management of water and energy resource supplies and use, in

order to prevent and mitigate high disaster risks, strengthen resilience and ultimately

contribute to sustainable development;

26. Urges governments, parliaments and international organizations to enhance international

cooperation in support of risk identification and management and resilient development, by

providing technical assistance and capacity-building, as appropriate, in developing countries;

27. Calls on all parliaments to drive the process for political ownership and will at the

governmental level in order to achieve tangible results in sustainable development and to

contain human-induced environmental changes that contribute to the occurrence or

severity of natural disasters, especially as a result of climate change; in particular, calls for

the conclusion by 2015 of an ambitious global agreement that has legal force under the

United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and is applicable to all the Parties

thereto;

28. Invites all IPU Member Parliaments to take urgent action to follow up on the

recommendations made in this resolution in their respective countries and regions.
