Topic A: Biotechnology

Topic B: The COVID-19 Pandemic

In a world where science evolves faster than policy can adapt, the balance between innovation and ethics has never been more critical. The World Health Organization (WHO) stands at the forefront of global health governance, uniting nations to address challenges that transcend borders. This committee will explore the expanding role of biotechnology in medicine, agriculture, and disease prevention, fields that promise progress but raise questions of accessibility, safety, and morality. Simultaneously, delegates will revisit the lessons of the COVID-19 pandemic, analyzing the global response, vaccine equity, and preparedness for future outbreaks. Together, these topics challenge the international community to define what it truly means to protect global health in an age of rapid scientific advancement.
