Deputy President
​Polina Pershikov

​Esteemed Delegates, Student Officers, Directors, and Distinguished Guests,
 
Welcome to the Environmental Committee! I am Polina, a junior at the French School of Shanghai. SUZMUN XIV will be my fifth time chairing and I will be honored to serve as your Deputy-President. Together we will deep dive into the issue of addressing the ecological effects of deep-sea mining. I chose this topic because as conscious citizens we should feel the need to raise awareness and involvement among the upcoming generations.
 
This committee is your platform to debate, collaborate, and innovate. My goal as its Deputy-President is to create an energetic environment where every voice is heard. To those starting their MUN journey with this conference I would recommend to find the courage to express ideas no matter how much you hesitate.
 
If any questions or concerns, feel free to reach me at polina[email protected]. Let’s make this conference one to remember!

President
Chloe Ma

​Greetings, delegates! 

My name is Chloe, a senior at Shanghai American School Puxi, and I am honored to serve as your President for the Environmental Commission at SUZMUN XIV. This year's SUZMUN will mark my 14th MUN conference and my third time serving as a chair. 

I will be focusing on the topic of “Combating desertification in the Horn of Africa,” a pressing environmental and public health issue. Prolonged droughts, deforestation, and unsustainable agricultural practices have contributed to the expansion of arid land, threatening food security, displacing communities, and exacerbating regional instability.

​The consequences of desertification extend beyond environmental damage, undermining economic development, increasing vulnerability to famine, and intensifying resource-based conflicts. Strengthening coordinated international efforts is vital to promote sustainable land management, invest in reforestation and water conservation initiatives, and support local communities in building resilience. I look forward to hearing insightful perspectives and comprehensive solutions that highlight the complexities of these challenges, along with fruitful debates. 

See you all in April!

Deputy President
Anna Zhao Karlsson

Hi everyone, my name is Anna, and I'm excited to serve as your Deputy Chair for the Environmental Commission at SUZMUN XIV. During this conference, I will focus on the topic of addressing the ecological effects of deep-sea mining in the Clarion Clipperton Zone (CCZ).

As a 10th grader at Hangzhou International School, I've been involved in MUN for 5 years. I've participated in 15 conferences both across China and internationally, and I've chaired three times before. I'm eager to bring my experience to this committee to help create a productive and engaging conference.

MUN has benefited me a lot over the past few years. It has helped me develop skills like public speaking, critical thinking, and teamwork. Most importantly, I've met lots of new people and gained many valuable friendships while attending conferences.

I hope everyone enjoys this conference, gains valuable insights, and makes meaningful connections. Let's work together to make SUZMUN XIV a memorable and impactful experience. Hope to see you all next year!
