Committee: UNITED NATIONS ENVIROMENTAL PROGRAMME

Agenda: Impact of Industrial Pollution on Ecology

Why?

 NISV actively believes in going green and fosters this attitude in its students as well.
 UNEP shall be the ideal committee to simulate as it shall encourage delegate participation and
enthusiasm, making the proceedings dynamic.
 It shall also allow for synthesis of prior knowledge that complements the research that they shall
conduct on the basis of their country allocations.
 Global warming is an issue that all students are intimately familiar with, and UNEP shall prove to
be a relatively engaging committee for the induction of first-timers.
