UNA London & Southeast Region: Regent’s University London 5th Annual Youth Model United Nations Conference

This year's conference will address some of the most pressing and rising concerns on the Agenda of the United Nations.  The world has experienced numerous complex events and crises in the past year, and especially rising insecurity and uncertainty in the international system through the emergence of less collaborative approaches to international issues.  Climate agreements are under threat, natural disasters are striking with regular devastation, civil wars and complex emergencies rage across the world, societies are in limbo and a number of humanitarian crises persist.  The world is visibly changing thus students will be asked to explore innovative solutions to pursue international peace and security through the Model United Nations. 

Therefore, the theme of this 2018 Conference is:
"Advancing our Common Future"
The committees and topics for this year are as follows:
