CamMUN 2025

Welcome future delegates, committee chairs and supervisors!

It is our great honour to welcome you to the 7th annual Cambridge Model United Nations, which will be held from 31st January to 2nd February 2025 at the Stephen Perse Senior School.

Applications open on the 5th September 2024; you can sign up on MyMUN.

This year’s conference theme is:

“Rethinking Global Solidarity: Including the Excluded.”

For most of recorded history, the vast majority of the world’s population has not had meaningful influence over policies and decisions. This has inhibited progress towards a society of equal opportunities and thus, a large number of innovative ideas have been lost which could have benefited humanity as a whole.

International crises face us from every corner of the world. As many of us know, the United Nations cannot help solve these crises without changing the approaches that we have inherited. Confidence in the resilience of institutions such as the UN is perilously low, due to the climate collapse and tears in the fabric of international law. The United Nations needs to regroup to form global solidarities of the willing, including all those who are affected by these conflicts. Against the nationalist tendencies that seek to preserve existing privileges, the United Nations recognises that global peace is the cornerstone of global prosperity.

While sustainability threatens to become only a meaningless word, global sustainability requires international cooperation and lasting peace. The nations of the world need to urgently find new models for peace, prosperity, and economic justice. These new models will only succeed if they take meaningful steps towards including all those who have previously been excluded from the benefits of international trade, finance, education, and healthcare.

The United Nations should be able to evolve and adapt beyond the scope of its founding charter. However, it can play a part in building new frameworks, institutions, and networks as well as standing up for the inclusion of the excluded and bringing substance to the phrase, “the rules based world order”.

Nowadays however, there are more resources available and we have the ability to enable anybody who is willing, and competent enough, to propose fresh insight to various issues, whether regional or global. There are several headwinds such as the economic climate, instability, and bad faith actors who are fighting against the greater good of humanity across the globe; however, if we can overcome our disagreements, there lies infinite potential for improving all of our lives to be happier, healthier, and longer; we will be able to pursue all of our dreams and goals.

We look forward to welcoming everybody to Cambridge with open arms in 2025. We are lucky to be able to host our conference from a world-famous city in which so much innovation has taken place and we hope you will have a memorable time here.
