GENERAL ASSEMBLY 3
(GA III)
VENUE
TBD
General Assembly III Topic 1:
Addressing the global issue of educational inequality
Educational inequality remains one of the most persistent and destabilizing challenges of the 21st century. Across continents, millions of children are denied access to quality learning due to poverty, conflict, gender discrimination, disability, and geographic isolation. While education is recognized as a fundamental human right under the United Nations and embedded in UNESCO’s Sustainable Development Goal 4, progress remains uneven and fragile. The digital divide, teacher shortages, and systemic underfunding continue to widen achievement gaps between and within nations. Addressing educational inequality is not only a moral imperative, but a prerequisite for sustainable economic growth, political stability, and global development.
General Assembly III Topic 2:
Reducing air pollution in urbanizing nations
Rapid urbanization has transformed economies and lifted millions out of poverty, yet it has also intensified air pollution in many developing and middle-income nations. Expanding industries, rising vehicle ownership, coal-dependent energy systems, and unplanned city growth have created hazardous concentrations of particulate matter and toxic emissions. According to the World Health Organization, air pollution contributes to millions of premature deaths annually, disproportionately affecting low-income communities. The United Nations Environment Programme has emphasized that addressing urban air quality is essential for achieving climate and public health goals. Reducing air pollution requires coordinated policy reform, technological innovation, and sustainable urban planning to protect both present and future generations.
General Assembly III Topic 3:
Implementing systems to prevent ecological collapse
Accelerating biodiversity loss, climate change, deforestation, and ocean degradation signal that global ecosystems are approaching dangerous tipping points. Scientists warn that continued environmental strain may trigger irreversible damage, undermining food security, economic stability, and human health. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has highlighted the urgent need for systemic transformation to limit warming and ecosystem disruption, while the United Nations Environment Programme stresses coordinated global action to restore degraded environments. Implementing systems to prevent ecological collapse requires integrated governance, sustainable resource management, technological innovation, and cross-border cooperation. Protecting ecological resilience is not optional; it is foundational to long-term human survival and sustainable development.
Meet the Chairs
President - Chelsea Zhao
Greetings Delegates!
My name is Chelsea Zhao, I am a senior from SMIC, and this marks my 9th MUN conference. It is my honor to serve as President for General Assembly III at DISMUN II.
The topic I will be focusing on is “Reducing air pollution in urbanizing nations”. Rapid urbanization has brought economic progress, but it also brings severe consequences that disproportionately affect low-income communities. I look forward to seeing creative solutions that balance environmental protection with the needs of growing cities.
Please feel free to reach out if there are any questions. See you in October!
Deputy President - Caia Wang
Hi delegates, my name is Caia, and I’m a year 12 student at YCIS Pudong. I’m excited to serve as one of the GA 3 chairs this year at DISMUN.
I have been a member of the MUN CCA since Year 8, and I’ve attended 9 conferences so far. My most memorable conference experience was attending a THIMUN conference in The Hague, where I joined thousands of delegates from around the world. Since it has shaped my knowledge of the world, MUN has been one of my favourite activities.
​
I look forward to a fruitful debate where all delegates can enhance their MUN skills and forge meaningful connections, regardless of whether they’re new to MUN or veteran delegates. See you all soon!
Deputy President - Theo Gilbert
Dear Delegates,
Welcome to GA3! Whether this is your first MUN conference or you’ve had plenty of prior experience, I would like to thank you for adding your own unique perspective and skillset to our committee.
In my eyes, MUN is a chance to make friends and grow together while applying yourself to urgent real-world problems. As I have the honour of serving as one of your Deputy Presidents, you have my word that I will do my best to build the wonderful committee experience that got me hooked.
Happy debating!
