Established in 1972, UNEP's creation, based in Nairobi, Kenya, was a significant step taken at the United Nations Stockholm Conference on the Human Environment at combatting the climate crisis. Mandated to find solutions to the triple planetary climate crisis, it provides in depth reports on biodiversity loss, pollution and the regulation of the chemicals harming the ozone, as well as resource management. As climate change in the largest longterm threat to humanity, UNEP spearheads treaties and environmental policy to provide environmental leadership and encourage partner nations to preserve the earth for generations to come. 

​

UNEP is designed for delegates of all experience levels. Position papers are not mandatory for this committee, but must be completed in order to be considered for an award.
