The World Health Organisation (WHO) is a dedicated agency of the United Nations responsible for international public health. WHO sets global health standards, conducts health research, monitors global health trends, and coordinates health responses during emergencies. It works collaboratively with governments, organizations, and communities to improve health outcomes, reduce health inequalities, and strengthen health systems globally.

The agenda aims to address the rising Air Quality Hazards in Developing Countries of the Global South through sustainable practices by afforestation and waste management. Improving air quality can enhance climate change mitigation efforts while reducing emissions will, in turn, improve air quality. By striving to achieve these guideline levels, countries will be both protecting health as well as mitigating global climate change. 

Dear Delegates,

Welcome to the SAIMUN 2025! We are enchanted to serve as your EB and anticipate a fruitful, engaging and thought-provoking discussion, We extend you a warm welcome to the WORLD HEALTH Organization (WHO). This year, we set about rising Air Quality Hazards in Developing Countries of the Global South.

For many of you, this could be your first MUN conference. We strongly advise you to fully go through the study guide that has been provided for you as part of the conference to help you develop a deeper understanding of the topic. We encourage you to participate actively with confidence and view this as a valuable learning experience. Our committee's agenda is addressing the rising Air Quality Hazards in Developing Countries of the globe. Air pollution is an emerging threat in developing countries throughout the Global South, which has severe implications for public health, the environment, and economies. Urbanization, industrialization, and population growth have accelerated pollution levels, compounded by lax environmental regulations and restricted access to clean energy sources. It takes the joining of hands of governments, industries, and communities to develop sustainable and healthier environments to deal with air pollution in the Global South. Addressing air quality hazards and crises requires comprehensive approaches. The WHO has played a critical role in managing this crisis. Therefore, we expect all delegations to conduct themselves professionally and be thoroughly researched, representing your esteemed nations with diplomacy and integrity. We expect you all to display excellent research, great speeches, passionate arguments, and ardent nation-representation during the session to enjoy our moment of joy. To make this council successful, we hope that we receive the best of your work. We hope the research will be informative and result in convincing position papers.

Feel free to reach out to us with any questions. Looking forward to three phenomenal days with you! Sincerely,

The Executive Board

WHO
