SDG 1: No Poverty

United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF)

 

Digital access has become a determinant of opportunity. Yet, millions of children across the globe lack reliable internet, devices, or digital literacy. This digital exclusion deepens educational and economic inequalities amongst children. Delegates will explore how to expand access to digital resources, educational tools, and digital skills, as well as connectivity and infrastructure across the globe. This topic encourages innovative solutions to ensure every child can thrive in a connected world. On Topic B, delegates will discuss strategies to improve the reach, sustainability, and inclusivity of support mechanisms for children and families in crisis. Children are faced with issues such as inter-generational poverty, irregular status, access to citizenship, and exclusion from essential services such as healthcare, education, and social protection. These challenges can trap vulnerable children in cycles of disadvantage and insecurity. Delegates will be challenged to design policies that protect children’s well-being across the globe.

Please note this is a double delegation committee.
