First Season

Climate Change and Migration

The Theme for The first season of the model was chosen upon the agreement of all of its participants to tackle the main basis relationship between climate change and migration in Egypt. The main reason behind the theme’s choice is that we want to cope with the current preferences and goals of COP27.
