SHISHUKUNJ NC MUN 2025

United Nations Environmental Program

Letter from the Chairperson

Namaste delegates, 

It is with immense pleasure that I invite all of you to the third iteration of the Shishukunj North Campus MUN. My name is Utkarsh Chitnis, and I am an 11th-grader studying PCM with Computer Science. I will be serving as your chairperson for this committee.

 

MUNs have been a characteristic feature of my academic experience so far, and I am humbled to now be able to lead fellow delegates through substantive deliberation and discussion. 

Outside of the MUN world, I am very interested in Artificial Intelligence and how it is changing our future. I also like to play video games on my PS5 during my leisure time, which relaxes me and recharges me. I also like to watch sci-fi and action movies. I think that one should remain curious, whether learning new things in technology or learning about global issues in diplomacy.

 

As your chairperson, it is my task to provide you with a well-faired, respectful, and engaging committee experience. Feel free to contact me with any uncertainties or questions — no question is too trivial. I wish all of you, every one of you, to be able to depart from this conference with improved abilities, better public speaking skills, and long-lasting memories. 

The very best in your research and sessions ahead of you. 

Regards,

Utkarsh Chitnis 

Chairperson 

United Nations Environmental Program

Committee Description

After the Stockholm Conference, the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), the leading global environmental organisation, came into being in 1972. The headquarters of UNEP are located in Nairobi, Kenya. UNEP addresses wastage, contamination, loss of biodiversity, climate change, environmental management, sustainable development, and ocean conservation. It plays a key role in executing scientific research, raising global awareness, and providing sustainable and technological assistance. UNEP aims to enhance partnership and ensure a sustainable future through informed environmental action and policy

Agenda Description

Internationally, the occurrence and severity of forest fires are increasing at a record high contributing to land use changes and advancing global warming. The critical need for a unified effort to reduce their environmental outcomes — ranging from carbon emissions and loss of biodiversity to continuous disturbance in ecosystems. These are some topics addressed by this agenda aside from supporting legally binding agreements for promoting fire prevention, early warning, and ecological rehabilitation after fires.
