As the world collectively faces the escalating threats of climate change, COP50 emerges as a crucial junction for global action. In the year 2050, against the backdrop of escalating climate crises, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) converges with the COP50 summit, bringing together not only nations but also key players from the corporate world.
TOPIC A: Conference of the Parties (COP) 50 - Addressing Private and Public Climate Action in 2050
The first topic recognizes that climate change knows no borders and requires a unified effort from all sectors of society. As delegates representing both countries and companies gather with a shared sense of urgency and determination, COP50 invites unprecedented collaboration where governments and corporations alike commit to ambitious emissions reduction targets, sustainable practices, and green technologies to combat climate change. Acknowledging different motives from the public and private actors, the committee stretches delegates to form mutual agreements that compromise both sides of the debate.
TOPIC B: Conference of the Parties (COP) 50 - Establishing Frameworks for Climate Refugees in 2050
The second topic addresses the relentless plight of climate refugees. By 2050, the world stand on entire communities being uprooted, not solely by conflict or economic hardship, but by the irreversible climate disaster. From flooded cities to prolonged droughts, the time has come for bold and visionary action as the committee gathers to confront the daunting challenge of establishing fair and equitable frameworks for climate refugees. In this pivotal moment, the IPCC holds the influence to chart a course towards compassion, resilience, and justice for those displaced by the changing climate. Delegates are encouraged to craft solutions that transcend borders, safeguard human dignity, and uphold the fundamental rights of all individuals, ensuring that no one is left behind in the face of the planet’s greatest existential threat.
