We returned to Chongqing for the second year of the OGMUN–Chongqing No.8 Secondary School Model United Nations Leadership Academy and Conference. From workshops and committee debate to cultural exchange, expert speakers, and exploring Chongqing and Chengdu, the week gave delegates the chance to build confidence, strengthen their MUN skills, and engage with new ideas.

Set in 2075, Future Crisis places delegates in a transformed world where new powers are rising, old assumptions are being tested, and the rules of global leadership are being rewritten.

From rising seas threatening Pacific Island States to the growing debate over net zero and absolute zero, COP31 places delegates at the centre of global climate diplomacy.
