International Labor Organization:
2025 The International Labour Organization, whose mission is to progress social and economic justice, faces an intricate challenge: securing labor rights and equality for persons with disabilities. Today, innovations in accessibility technologies and practices make it easier to serve and fulfill the needs of persons with disabilities than ever before. However, these innovations are left unused due to a lack of awareness, education, and motivation. Many believe that it is expensive to make the labor force accessible to persons with disabilities, or unimportant compared to other labor issues. It is up to this committee to reshape this idea and strive for labor equality for persons with disabilities, as well as employ the newfound accessibility innovations to achieve this equality. |

How's the Weather Down There? WMO 2025
Every day, our world is changing. Not only in the people who make it up, the societies they live in, and the technology that supports them, but the very world around them is constantly changing. Clouds form and disperse, the wind blows and calms, temperatures rise and fall, and water flows and stops. The many domains of the atmosphere and hydrosphere of our planet are surveyed under the banner of the World Meteorological Organization, one of the UN's sixteen specialized agencies. The organization maintains a portfolio of meteorology and hydrology, two of the rapidly evolving domains that impact all different manners of policy. The World Meteorological Organization dedicates itself to constant data collection, analysis, and policy crafting on these topics that affect all of the billions of people around the world. Delegates in the WMO will have the opportunity to represent their country as they come together to address many of the issues the organization’s portfolio is currently facing, whether that is the development and protection of freshwater access or working to face the ever-increasing phenomenon of extreme weather. |

For Every Child: UNICEF 2025
Since the creation of the United Nations, children have been at the forefront of human rights concerns around the world. After the signing of The Convention on the Rights of the Child, guaranteed rights were outlined, dedicated towards the specific concerns that children face globally. However, there are still shortcomings that delegates in UNICEF must address in order to protect the rights guaranteed in its charter. Specifically, emphasis has been taken within this committee to dedicate themselves to finding equitable solutions towards international and regional problems that negatively impact and endanger children. Delegates in UNICEF will be addressing important topics and concerns that focus on preserving the safety and human rights for every child. Additionally, delegates will strive to pass resolutions that ensure that all children regardless of their geographic or socioeconomic background have access to their rights. If you have any questions, feel free to email us at our committee email below. Good luck delegates! We are excited to see your ideas shine! |

UNFCCC COP 30: Combatting the Climate Crisis
The COP 30 session on climate change will focus on three key issues: transitioning away from unsustainable energy sources and environmental practices, environmental destruction and resulting climate refugees, and restructuring climate finance (i.e. the prioritization of profit despite environmental destruction). With each issue, there are multiple courses to take. While you will have individual interests, remember the overarching goal of taking positive action to preserve the Earth. You will represent diverse stakeholders concerning the global climate crisis, working together, not solely to satisfy your interests but to, more importantly, draft solutions that actively work to bridge the economic, social, and cultural divides that hinder positive action. Consider what this action looks like, what parties may be affected, and how you can work with other delegates to draft new policies and come up with creative solutions. |

A River Runs Blue It: African Union Summit 2021
Since ancient times, the Nile River has been the heartbeat of the civilizations that have inhabited its banks. However, access to this vital resource has come under threat in recent years. Since 2011, Ethiopia has been constructing the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) on the Blue Nile tributary which provides Egypt and Sudan with much of the Nile’s water. While this megaproject has the potential to provide Ethiopia with staggering benefits, the dam could ravage agricultural productivity in Egypt and Sudan. Moreover, each of these nations face their own internal pressures, from civil wars to economic insecurity, making the implications of the GERD even more consequential. Thus, this committee will bring together key stakeholders from the Nile Basin to negotiate the future of the GERD and regional stability. Will equitable water usage and security cooperation deals be struck, or will chaos ensue? |

Antarctic Treaty: Coming Soon
This Antarctic Treaty Committee takes place during the latter half of 1959, and the Antarctic Treaty that we know today does not exist yet. The framework of the Antarctic Treaty has not yet been defined, with no internationally recognized solution or perspective on what the treaty should focus on. During your time in the Antarctic Treaty committee, you'll balance challenging questions like early exploration claims, a changing defense landscape during world war two, conservation issues, and more. Don your coats & boots for a thrilling -- and chilling -- committee! |
