The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) is the leading environmental authority within the United Nations system, dedicated to promoting environmental protection and sustainable development worldwide. Established in 1972, UNEP works with governments, international organizations, and civil society to address global environmental challenges and encourage responsible management of natural resources.
Despite growing awareness, environmental degradation continues to threaten ecosystems, economies, and human well-being. Issues such as climate change, pollution, biodiversity loss, and unsustainable resource consumption remain major global concerns. This committee will examine causes and consequences of global environmental issues and discuss policy-driven solutions to promote sustainability, with emphasis on international cooperation and environmental governance.
