SAMPLE LETTER----


Dear Foreign Minister,

I am writing today because of my grave concern about the potential resurgence of nuclear energy technologies, and the inevitability that this technology will be discussed during the fourteenth session of the United Nations Commission on Sustainable Development (CSD-14).

The upcoming session of this CSD is tasked with identifying barriers and constraints, lessons learned and best practices in implementation in the thematic cluster of energy for sustainable development, industrial development, air pollution/ atmosphere and climate change.

Nuclear energy is not an option to resolve these issues.

Nuclear energy is not sustainable.

In this, the twentieth year since the devastating disaster at Chernobyl, it is imperative that our government work towards an energy future for the world that is clean, safe, and secure for us, and for our future generations. I encourage you to direct our governmental delegation to advocate for the creation of an International Sustainable Energy Agency- an agency tasked with enhancing the development of truly sustainable energy technologies such as wind, solar, and tides.

In a world increasingly concerned about holistic security, we can demonstrate our commitment to a healthy and safe future by taking positive action towards a sustainable future.

Thank you for your kind attention, I look forward to learning that our delegation has put forward a truly sustainable energy solution at this upcoming commission.

Sincerely,
