The Environment Commission(ENV | EC) is an initiative set up by the UN to handle and debate issues specifically concerning the environment. The EC/EP debates topics that deal with sustainable development and conservation of both animals and resources.

The Environment Commission’s goal is to create solutions that concern the world’s environment and have the ultimate goal of creating a world of sustainable growth and development, and countering climate change, and its causes and effects.

Sample topics

Topics in EC are generally concerned with matters that are relevant to the global community, rather than being targeted to a specific country. When researching as a delegate, be sure to familiarise yourself with your own country’s (delegation) stance in environmental approaches, as they will impact your contribution to the debate.

Here are a list of topics from past SUZMUN conferences:

• Protecting the welfare of persons displaced by climate change
• Dealing with regulations and fining for ocean pollution
• Reducing and mitigating the effects of micro-plastic pollution
• Reducing the negative ecological impact of textile industries
• Preventing the destruction caused by ocean pollution on wildlife animals
• Measures to enhance the sustainability of the Arctic regions
