Topic: Great Green Wall Initiative
Chair: Claudia Servaes
Director: Eli Prybyla
Committee Description:
This committee will debate the environmental, social, and political aspects of the Great Green Wall Initiative which will affect the southern edge of the Sahara desert by creating a “wall” of trees and plants in attempts to stop desertification. Thought the initiative sounds very appealing to environmentalists, many issues arise when considering implementation, and possible negative effects on the ecosystem and previously established people on the border of the desert. African nations will have to consider not only the effectiveness of the plan, but the effects that the initiative may have on their country’s people, industries, and so on.
This committee will be consisting only of those African nations affected, resulting in a small specialized committee. Due to the small nature of the committee, only one resolution will be passed. Ideally, delegates should work collaboratively to write multi-faceted resolutions which make revisions to the plan or adapt a new plan in order to cover each issue associated with the Great Green Wall Initiative.
