United Nations Environment Programme
The UNEP
As sea levels and temperatures rise, as trees fall, and as pollution plagues the earths face, UNEP stands tall as the planet's steadfast protector. This council leads the charge against environmental crises, driving international collaboration and sustainable solutions. With jurisdiction across all UN member states, UNEP meets biannually to assess progress, forge bold policies, and launch impactful strategies. From championing green energy and biodiversity to spearheading global partnership, UNEP is the forefront of environmental innovation. In a world of constant change, UNEP delegates can look forward to guiding us towards a vibrant, sustainable future.
Sustainable Consumption and Production Patterns
As you read this introduction, remember the arduous journey your device had to traverse. Without its numerous stages of production, processing and distribution, this device wouldn’t even be in your hand. Supply chains, in our world, are inescapable. But so is climate change. And this intersection between the opposing forces of profit and sustainability is at the heart of our council.
Corporations, naturally, prioritise profit margins, compromising sustainability. This leads to environmental concerns and human rights violations arising at each step of the supply chain. Delegates, for the good of the world, learning how to tread the fine line between economic goals and environmental impacts is crucial. From start to finish, you are tasked with untangling the complex links between supply chains, manipulating geopolitical ties, and incentivising the private sector to prioritise sustainability. Specifically targeting the garment, semiconductor and food industries, you must right archaic wrongs: amend these sectors’ deep-rooted issues with solutions that have the power to revolutionise the globe. Delegates, let’s stand on the right side of humanity, protecting the only home we have.
