UNEP

Methods to regulate environmental degradation and damage caused by interstate conflicts

UNEP

The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) was founded in 1972, after the UN had its first global conference solely for discussing environmental issues, the United Nations Conference on the Human Environment (UNEP, 2022). Following this convention, the General Assembly, through resolution 2997 (XXVII), established the UNEP and its corresponding Governing Council. At the time there were 58 members in the council. In 2013, the UNEP Governing Council shifted to the United Nations Environmental Assembly (UNEA). This change also resulted in the UNEA having universal membership, changing from 58 members to all 193. The importance given to environmental discourse and the creation of formalised, global environmental law can be heavily credited to the existence and work of the UNEP

SOFIA MCFADYEN

DEPUTY CHAIR | SOTONMUN

Sofia is an incoming 2nd year Zoology student at the university of Southampton. She started her MUN career in UNEP at BathMUN last year having absolutely no idea what MUN even was, having the opportunity to chair this year is incredible! Although she doesn't have much of a life outside of MUN, you can find her studying in the library at ridiculous hours, watching rugby with a pint, or playing pokemon.

MICHELLE
CHARLES

HEAD CHAIR | BATHMUN

Michelle is a third-year student studying Psychology from the University of Bath. She has been participating in MUNs for 10 years now and can say with full certainty that this is no longer a "temporary hobby". Outside of MUN, Michelle can be found hanging out with her friends, updating her letterboxd, and exploring new music. She is excited to see you all in Bath for the conference!

JAEDEN TEE
JIEN REN

DEPUTY CHAIR | LSEMUN

Jaeden is a second-year student studying International Relations at the London School of Economics. Heralding from the hot, humid, far-away land known as Malaysia, he can usually be found yapping about global politics, modding retro tech or spending a bit too much time sleeping.

When he's not complaining about British weather, food, or his LSE course, he's probably busy with MUN-related business. Ever since arriving in the UK in 2024, he's represented TeamLSE at six different conferences across Europe, and is a member of the LSE UNSOC's commitee.
