I’m studying for my Political Science class and need an explanation.

You will have to defend one of the following three perspectives:

Position 1: Only rich and industrialized countries should contribute to the United Nations Trust Fund created in order to preserve oil underground in the Misoupu National Park.

Position 2: All countries rich and poor should contribute to the United Nations Trust Fund.

Position 3: Countries should contribute to the United Nations Trust Fund, but only if by doing so they get rights to increase CO2 emissions in their own countries (this is known as carbon trading).
