Topic

Reducing Plastic Pollution Across the Global Plastics Lifecycle.

About the committee

Plastic production keeps growing while waste management in many countries cannot keep pace, and plastic debris now reaches oceans, soils and food chains. This committee looks at reducing single-use plastics, improving recycling and waste collection, and the role of producers. Delegates will weigh binding global targets against national flexibility and the costs for developing economies.

Topic

Scaling Climate Finance for Loss and Damage in Vulnerable Nations.

About the committee

Countries facing the worst climate impacts often contributed least to emissions, and debates continue over who pays for loss and damage. This committee negotiates how funds are raised, who can access them, and how quickly money can reach affected communities. Delegates will navigate the tension between contributor and recipient states and the limits of existing climate finance mechanisms.

Topic

Planning Climate-Resilient Cities for Rapid Urban Growth.

About the committee

Cities are growing fastest in places that are most exposed to flooding, heat and sea level rise, and many residents live in informal housing. This committee covers resilient infrastructure, land use rules, affordable housing and community-led adaptation. Delegates will draft planning frameworks that reduce risk without displacing the people they aim to protect.

Countries

Topic

Accelerating a Just Transition to Clean Energy in Developing Economies.

About the committee

Moving away from fossil fuels raises questions of jobs, energy access and cost for countries still building their economies. This committee discusses financing for renewables, technology transfer, and support for workers and communities that rely on fossil fuel industries. Delegates will reconcile climate goals with the right to development.

Topic

Addressing Climate-Related Security Risks and Displacement.

About the committee

Competition over water and farmland, extreme weather and forced migration can worsen instability and conflict.
