About the Committee
The African Union (AU) is a continental organization that brings together African states to promote unity, peace, and sustainable development across the continent. The AU serves as a vital platform for member states to collaboratively address regional challenges, including armed conflicts, political instability, human rights issues, and socio-economic disparities. Through dialogue, coordinated policy efforts, and regional cooperation, the African Union aims to advance the principles of good governance, security, and prosperity. The committee plays a critical role in strengthening African solidarity and formulating solutions that reflect the unique cultural, historical, and political contexts of the continent.
-Agenda Item
The agenda item addresses the far-reaching socioeconomic consequences and emerging conflict risks resulting from major climate shifts across the African continent. With a focus on vulnerable populations and fragile ecosystems, the discussion aims to examine how rising temperatures, changing rainfall patterns, desertification, and resource scarcity are affecting food security, migration, and regional stability. The committee will assess the limitations of existing climate adaptation strategies and explore the intersection between environmental stress and political or ethnic tensions. Member states will work collaboratively to develop sustainable and inclusive policy solutions that strengthen resilience, promote equitable development, and prevent climate-induced conflict across Africa.
"We are the first generation to feel the impact of climate change and the last generation that can do something about it."
