Project Goals
Within the simulation, the participants take over the role of diplomatic representatives of the current UN Security Council (UNSC) member states and negotiate the conditions for a possible prolongation of the peacekeeping mission in Mali. A special thematic focus is put on the climate & security nexus, discussing the question if the impact of climate change on the conflict situation in Mali and the wider Sahel region should be mentioned in the resolution. The implementation of the simulation was accompanied by several preparation sessions, dealing with the rules and procedures of the UNSC, communication and resolution drafting.
