Welcome Delegates!
Hi delegates!
We are so excited to welcome you to BMUN 72 and the UNEP committee.
In this committee, you will be learning about macro-level environmental and economic policy. Our first topic addresses the environmental impact of the fast fashion industry. Our second topic addresses using geoengineering to combat climate change.
This blog will act as our committee’s more informal avenue for discussion and communication before the conference– and we’d love to see you interact with it! The purpose of this blog is to (1) allow you to actively engage with the content of this committee and (2) give you all the opportunity to learn about other countries’ policies before the debate actually starts. You can post comments on posts that we make and write about literally anything relevant to the topics at hand! For example, if you’ve found follow-up content or research you’d like to share, would like to discuss your country’s opinion on the topic, or have other ideas in mind, this blog is the place for that! Please write from the perspective of the country that you are representing.
The official UNEP committee page can be found here http://www.bmun.org/committees/unep, where you can find our executive summary, synopsis, and the link to this blog.
Here, I will also touch on some important guidelines and expectations as you start your research:
Position Papers
We highly recommend taking advantage of the synopsis as the starting point in your research. It may be really long (sorry), but we promise that it’s a digestible read; plus, a good portion of it is images and citations.
UNEP will use the standard, default position paper format. Position papers are due on February 18th to be considered for the Research Award, and February 25th to be considered for any committee award. Please reach out to us if you need more time, and we would be happy to grant an extension (no later than March 1st).
Procedure Guide
UNEP will be using THIMUN procedure. Please note this is NOT standard BMUN procedure.
If you have any questions about the topics, the procedure, your position paper, or BMUN in general, please don’t hesitate to contact us at unepbmun72@bmun.org.
Good luck with your research! We’re so excited for BMUN 72!
Best,
Emma Wu
Head Chair of UNEP, BMUN 72
