  Topic A: Leveraging Alternative Economies for a More Sustainable Future

  Climate change, resource depletion, and social inequalities have revealed the weaknesses of traditional economic models focused on unchecked growth and consumption. These systems often worsen environmental damage and deepen inequalities. Alternative models, such as the green economy, circular economy, and bioeconomy, offer more sustainable and equitable approaches to development. Delegates are tasked with proposing strategies to advance these models by addressing challenges like limited funding, outdated legal frameworks, and policy fragmentation, ensuring they meet sustainability goals and societal needs.

  
  

  Topic B: Advancing Social Care Initiatives to Foster Gender Equality

  The unequal burden of unpaid care work remains a significant barrier to gender equality, limiting women's access to education, employment, and leadership positions. Women frequently shoulder most caregiving responsibilities, exacerbating economic disparities and hindering social progress. Social care initiatives, such as accessible childcare, eldercare services, and workplace flexibility, can help to alleviate this burden and promote equality. Delegates must propose policies integrating social care into economic planning. These initiatives should be consistent with global goals, allowing women to participate more fully in the workforce and promoting long-term social and economic progress.

• CSocD (Beginner/Intermediate Committee)

  Topic A: Reducing income inequality and generational poverty

  Reducing income inequality and generational poverty involves creating conditions that enable equitable economic opportunities for all individuals, regardless of their background. Income inequality refers to the disparity in income and wealth distribution, where the richest segments of society hold a disproportionate share of resources. Generational poverty occurs when poverty is passed down from one generation to the next, often due to a lack of access to quality education, healthcare, and employment opportunities. This cycle perpetuates a systemic disadvantage for marginalized groups, hindering social mobility and contributing to social instability. Delegates will need to work together to develop long-term solutions to overcome the high unemployment levels and the perpetuating poverty across generations by utilizing social tools and developing technologies. 

  
  

  Topic B: Fostering Inclusive Growth and Social Development Through Digital Technology and AI Tools 

  Fostering inclusive growth and social development through digital technologies and AI tools refers to the use of advanced digital innovations, such as artificial intelligence (AI), to promote equitable economic growth, social well-being, and opportunity for all. Inclusive growth means ensuring that the benefits of economic progress are shared broadly across society, reducing disparities and ensuring that marginalized and vulnerable groups have access to the same opportunities. Digital technologies and AI play a crucial role in achieving this by democratizing access to information, education, healthcare, and job opportunities, particularly in underserved communities. Delegates will work towards creating innovative opportunities in these varieties of sectors while incorporating the many capabilities of technology and AI.

• UNCCPCJ (Intermediate/Advanced)

  Topic A: Combating Human Trafficking and Forced Labour in DRC Cobalt Mining

  The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) holds 70% of the world’s cobalt, which is essential for electronic devices and batteries, but mining relies heavily on forced labour and human trafficking, including child exploitation. The CCPCJ committee will address systemic abuses in the DRC’s mining sector, explore international complicity, and propose solutions to combat labour exploitation, corruption, and regional instability while promoting justice.

  
  

  Topic B: Respecting and Promoting the Rights of Indigenous Peoples

  Women face systemic challenges in the justice system, from barriers in legal careers to inadequate treatment in prisons. This can include gender stereotypes and limited resources. Incarcerated women have insufficient protections and face systemic discrimination and violence, further highlighting these disparities. Together, delegates will address the critical role of gender equity in building a more inclusive and effective global justice system.

• UNEA (Beginner Committee)

  Topic A: Addressing air quality to confront the global environmental crisis 

  In today’s society, 99% of the population breathes polluted air. Air pollution refers to the contamination of the air, both indoors and outdoors, that disrupts the natural properties of the atmosphere, often caused by natural, physical, or biological agents, and poor air quality poses a significant threat to public health. There are several contributors to air pollution; the most current one being methane. Delegates must come together to provide global, sustainable, long-term solutions to ensure our future generations breathe clean air.

  
  

  Topic B: Sustainable climate change mitigation strategies for Small Island Developing States (SIDS)

  Small Island Developing States (SIDS) are extremely vulnerable to climate change, facing potential severe financial losses and environmental impacts. In the last 50 years, these nations suffered from losses that total approximately $153 billion USD. In order to contain these threats, it is imperative that delegates work together to address these critical issues and provide equitable and sustainable resolutions to ensure the safety of SIDS.

• UNHRC: (Intermediate/Advanced)

  Topic A: Safeguarding Freedom of Expression and Opinion

  Freedom of expression is a fundamental human right. In countries like Iran and Palestine, free speech is suppressed through violence, arrests, and internet shutdowns. Cases such as Masha Amini's death in Iran highlight the ongoing struggle for these rights. In order to ensure individuals across the globe gain access to a basic human right, delegates must work together to promote freedoms and civil liberties globally. 

  
  

  Topic B: Respecting and Promoting the Rights of Indigenous Peoples 

  Globally, Indigenous peoples, who represent over 6% of the world’s population, face extreme challenges such as marginalization, poverty, and human rights violations. They are 3 times as likely to be living in extreme poverty. Additionally, their ancestral lands, often rich in natural resources, are under threat from resource extraction, government infrastructure projects, and illegal activities, despite international laws protecting their rights. Delegates must work together to respect and promote the rights and Freedoms of Indigenous peoples.
