ALL BACKGROUND GUIDES WILL ALSO BE EMAILED OUT BY YOUR CHAIRS AS WELL AS LISTED BELOW.
The United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) was established with a focus on the named categories. Its constitution was verified in 1945, being enacted into place the following year in London, England. Our committee will be dealing with disability inclusive city infrastructure. 16 percent of people around the world are living with disabilities. With the majority of them living in cities, it's important to consider people with disabilities while planning and maintaining cities.
The United Nations Environment Assembly (UNEA) will focus on the illegal trafficking of wildlife (plants, animals, seeds, etc.) and how it affects biodiversity in nature. We will especially consider poaching in Africa and Asia, unlawful trading/exchanging of plants and animals, and how America is often a center of this international commerce. Africa, the United States, and Asia are all major hotspots for the illegal trade in wildlife. The illegal trade in wildlife is a transnational organized crime that poses a serious threat to biodiversity and ecosystems around the world. It is estimated to be worth billions of dollars annually and is responsible for the decline and extinction of many species, including elephants, rhinos, tigers, and pangolins.
The Joint Crisis Committee (JCC) on the Greco-Persian War immerses you in the midst of one of the most pivotal conflicts in ancient history. This committee focuses on the critical phase of the Greco-Persian War when King Xerxes I of Persia is only a few hours away from breaking through the valiant defense of King Leonidas and his 300 Spartan warriors at the Hot Gates (Thermopylae). Your role in this committee is to represent the interests, strategies, and aspirations of your assigned characters, each hailing from different Greek city-states and factions. Your decisions will shape the course of the war and its impact on Greece's destiny.
