    About the committee

    The World Health Organization is a specialized agency that operates within the United Nations. It aims to improve health on an international scale, guided by values of universality of accessibility, ensuring quality of life, and international cooperation. The WHO has served to advance the world scientifically and medically since its conception. Delegates will discuss critical topics that challenge the social, economic, and political areas of modern healthcare. Furthermore, delegates must find ways to balance the perspectives of their respective member states and find viable solutions to pressing threats to human health and safety. As a result, delegates will cultivate an understanding of existing inequalities in global healthcare and how human wellbeing is fundamentally tied to global issues as a whole.

    About the committee

    The United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) committee is a vital platform where delegates will address critical issues in global trade. The committee focuses on two key areas: trade imbalances and protectionism, and the green tech gap. Delegates will engage in discussions to understand the causes and consequences of trade imbalances. They will explore the impact of protectionist policies on domestic industries and global trade relations. Through dialogue and cooperation, delegates will work to promote fair trade practices while addressing national interests. Another crucial aspect of the committee's work is the bridging of the green tech gap. Delegates will examine the challenges faced by developing nations in accessing and adopting sustainable technologies. Through the lens of international cooperation, they will seek innovative strategies for technology transfer, sustainability promotion, and environmental protection. The UNCTAD committee offers delegates a platform to participate in lively debates, critical analysis, and diplomatic negotiations. It provides an opportunity to collaborate with peers from around the world, building bridges across diverse perspectives. By contributing to policy discussions and crafting comprehensive solutions, delegates will shape a more prosperous, fair, and sustainable global economy.

    About the committee

    After the murder of the High King by Ulfric Stormcloak, and the first sighting of a dragon in over 1000 years, the province of Skyrim was plunged into chaos. Now, with no leader to unite the armies of the nine holds, Skyrim is at the mercy of the dragons, who carry with them a doomsday prophecy. To address the serious issues plaguing the province, Skyrim’s most knowledgeable and important individuals have been called to a round table meeting. Tensions are high as opposing political groups debate on the brink of civil war. The question is, will the delegates of the Council of Skyrim be able to put aside these differences for the greater good, or will this era of Skyrim’s history be its last?

    About the committee

    n ad hoc committee is a specialized and impromptu forum that assembles to address immediate and unforeseen international issues or crises. Unlike the regular MUN committees with predetermined agendas, ad hoc committees replicate real-world diplomatic challenges requiring rapid response, creative problem-solving, and swift adaptation. Delegates participate in high-intensity sessions where they must be well-informed and adept at diplomacy, navigating evolving global scenarios while collaborating with others to craft effective solutions. This unique MUN experience tests their crisis management skills, making it an exciting and educational component of CANMUN.
