Issues

Main Theme

We proudly announce the main theme of Leiden Model United Nations 2012

The emphasis of our conference will lie on how to deal with recent and upcoming problems related to overpopulation. How are we going to counter the growing amount of underfed people, while the food and water resources are declining? How are we going to cope with the upcoming scarcity of energy resources? What is needed to be done when an easily transmissible disease breaks out in a highly overpopulated area? Is birth control needed to keep this earth livable? At this year's conference delegates will be encouraged to think about how to face the problems of overpopulation and to seek sustainable solutions.

In each committee we will implement issues which correspond with the theme. The conference manager is working on relevant,challenging issues, in cooperation with the staff and board of directors. The first issues will be published soon.
