Topic: Clean Water Access
Description:
This committee's purpose is to highlight the global water crisis. In 2022, 2.2 billion people lacked access to safe, clean, and drinkable water, and 3.5 billion people lacked safely managed sanitation. These numbers are only growing amid worsening conditions around the world. Water shortages lead to many repercussions, including unsafe hygiene, a higher risk of disease, and damaged vegetation, which often results in food shortages. The United Nations stated that the organization’s objective is to “ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all.” The dais hopes that delegates will first understand the key factors contributing to the water crisis, which include the three C’s: climate change, conflict, and contamination. The second priority is for delegates to work together to create unique, successful, equitable, and sustainable solutions to this pressing issue. The background guide includes detailed sections on the history, UN resolutions, possible solutions, and topics of consideration.

My name is David Liu (he/him), and I am a sophomore at Phillips Exeter. I'm from Exeter, NH, and I am super excited to be a committee vice-chair for this year's PEAMUN. I participated in two MUN conferences last year and enjoyed both. I started MUN in 8th grade and have enjoyed every part of it. Outside of MUN, I am involved in many clubs such as Science Bowl and Biology Club as well as playing tennis and piano. I look forward to our conference in the fall!

Hi, my name is Sophia Butler. I am a sophomore day student from Massachusetts and am affiliated with Bancroft Hall on campus. Outside of Model UN I run winter and spring track, play the cello, and am involved in a few clubs, both ESSO and otherwise. The first Model UN conference I participated in was PEAMUN last year, and since then I’ve gone to a couple other conferences. I have come to really enjoy MUN, partially because of all the new people I am able to meet. I’m excited to be a staffer this year and can’t wait for PEAMUN XVI
