COP31

31st Conference of the Parties

COP31 brings delegates into one of the most consequential forums in contemporary international diplomacy: the global negotiation of climate action. As the Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, COP is where states, interests, and responsibilities converge to debate how the world should respond to a rapidly changing planet. The committee asks delegates to grapple with questions of ambition, accountability, adaptation, and climate justice, all within a framework shaped by both scientific urgency and political compromise. In doing so, COP31 offers a space to consider how international cooperation can meet one of the defining challenges of the present while shaping the future of the global order.

Is this a single- or double-delegate committee? This is a single-delegate committee, so each delegate will represent their assigned country or position independently.

This committee is well suited to delegates who are familiar with the basics of MUN, while still being accessible to delegates of all experience levels. It is a particularly good choice for delegates interested in climate policy, international cooperation, and the future of global governance.

How much will I have to speak in this committee? Due to the large size of this committee, delegates should expect to speak a few times in each session.
