Eaglebrook Students Take on Model UN

By Nick Leyden, Director of Studies
27 Eaglebrook students participated in the fourth annual Model United Nations conference at Choate on Sunday, April 15. The general theme was protecting the environment, and the students were divided into several committees that debated more specific topics. Four students participated in the Framework Convention on Climate Change, in which they focused on greenhouse gas emissions; ten students participated in the International Strategy for Disaster Reduction Conference, in which they focused on prevention and relief strategies for natural disasters; and thirteen students participated in the General Assembly, in which they focused on the environmental impact of the geopolitical conflicts in the South China Sea. For many of the delegates, it was an enjoyable first MUN experience, while for the more experienced delegates it was a valuable opportunity to further develop their skills and compete against high schoolers. Many delegates performed impressively throughout the day. Kiernan Keller ’19 deserves special attention for being named as the "Outstanding Delegate" in his committee. A huge thanks goes to the Choate students who organized and managed the event. We look forward to returning next year.
