ICELAND

Calls upon member states to strengthen social security nets

A. Iceland’s comprehensive social welfare system empowers citizens and ensures high
living standards.
B. Key elements of Iceland’s social security net include the following:
C. Universal healthcare for all citizens funded by taxes and nation health insurance
D. Free education which is compulsory from ages 6-16, free tuition at public universities
for Icelandic citizens to ensure money does not hinder higher education.
E. Social welfare benefits which include unemployment benefits, sick and disability
leave, maternity and paternity leaves.
F. Provision of pension, housing subsidies, child and family support

Recommends following strategies to achieve (SDG1) No poverty:

A. Supporting microfinance institutions and entrepreneurship programs in developing
countries to empower individuals, particularly women and youth, to create start-up
programs and businesses which will help target unemployment.
B. Governments invest in educational and vocational training programs for
vulnerable/rural populations to facilitate skill development leading to an increase in
work-force and sustainable incomes for citizens.
C. Government programs such as Universal Basic Income to be implemented in
countries for unemployed populations, women and senior citizens to provide a stable
financial foundation and reduce economic insecurity.
D. Development and implementation of targeted support programs for vulnerable groups,
including children, the elderly, and persons with disabilities, to reduce poverty and
inequality.

Further recommends these strategies to achieve (SDG2) Zero Hunger:

A. Promotion of agroecological and climate resilient farming practices to increase food
production and combat climate change.
B. Iceland's expertise in sustainable fisheries management has ensured food security and
economic stability for its population. By promoting sustainable practices, Iceland
helps protect marine resources, which are crucial for global food security.
C. Improving access to market and value chains for small farmers to ensure fair pricing
for produce and reduce post-harvest losses. For example: Minimum Support Price
(MSP) in India.
D. Advocating for food fortification and supplementation initiatives to combat
micronutrient deficiencies and enhance overall health outcomes.

Encourages partnership and international cooperation

A. South-South and Triangular Cooperation for developing countries to pool their
resources, share valuable knowledge, and create sustainable solutions that benefit
their populations and contribute to global development. For example the India-
Brazil-South Africa (IBSA) Fund which is a triangular initiative that funds projects
in various developing countries, focusing on poverty reduction and sustainable
development.
B. Enhancing collaboration with the UNDP and other international organisations to
utilise assets, capabilities, and expertise in addressing poverty and hunger.
C. Increasing international financial aid and technical assistance through organisations
like IMF and World Bank to support poverty reduction and food security initiatives in
developing countries.
D. Encouraging public-private partnerships to mobilize additional resources and
innovative solutions to address poverty and hunger.
