High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR)
Beginner Level
Committee Description
In 2025, more people are displaced by conflict, persecution, and climate disasters than at any point in recorded history. For millions of refugees, asylum-seekers, and internally displaced persons, safety is not only a matter of protection but a matter of survival. It is up to delegates in the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) committee to produce solutions to these issues in a world where refugees and marginalized communitees are overlooked.
Over the weekend, delegates will be tasked with drafting comprehensive, forward-looking resolutions that strengthen international protections for displaced populations. Delegates will tackle one of two topics, access to vaccines and climate disasters. First, delegates may confront the growing inequities in global public health by expanding access to vaccines, improving delivery systems, and reinforcing healthcare infrastructure in refugee camps and host states. Second, delegates may choose to address the impact of climate disasters, which are uprooting communities at unprecedented rates.
Delegates have to opportunity to collaborate and debate with each other to create solutions to address these issues.
