Distinguished delegates, chairpersons and guests!

It is with my greatest pleasure and excitement that I welcome you to the 18th edition of Warsaw Model United Nations!

Our conference takes pride in its leading position in Poland, but also across all of central-eastern Europe, with a long-standing legacy of excellence and a high level of debate. For the past 17 years, Warsaw Model United Nations has brought together ambitious and engaged young minds from all over the world, allowing them to discuss global problems, gain leadership skills and make valuable connections.

We live in an era marked by profound challenges, where political instability, social inequality and environmental degradation threaten the very fabric of our societies. With international security in decline, sustainable development has become a distant dream for many. Conflicts are disrupting economies, displacing communities, and fueling poverty and disparity, hindering progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set forth by the United Nations. This year’s theme, “Sustainable development in a world of compromised peace,” underscores the crucial role of collaborative efforts and unwavering dedication to peace in paving the way towards a brighter and more sustainable future. There is no better place for fostering cooperation and developing modern-day solutions than WawMUN. I wholeheartedly invite you to join us, together we can change the world!

We have put great effort into creating this year’s event and sincerely hope you will enjoy it.

See you this November!

Zuzanna Bogucka

Secretary General of WawMUN 2024
