The Liceo Scientifico "Enrico Fermi" is pleased to host the XII edition
of the Fermi Model United Nations that will take place on 17,18,19 April
2013 in Nuoro (Italy) and our high school, IES Don Bosco, has been invited to participate in this new edition again.
The topics which are going to be debated this year are:
1. ECOSOC:
Human actions are dismantling Earth's natural ecosystems, resulting in species extinctions at a much faster rate than previously predicted. Over the last two decades, strong scientific evidence has emerged showing that the loss of the world's biological diversity reduces the productivity and sustainability of natural ecosystems and decreases their ability to provide society with goods and services like food, wood, and fertile soils.
Without a full understanding od the fundamental ecological processes that link biodiversity, ecosystem and human economic sustainable growth an irreversible decline and perhaps destruction of human an animal habitat will be almost inevitable. How can the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and other international enviironmental agencies slow down or even stop this process?
2. HRC:
"Millions of women and girls around the world are assaulted, beaten, raped, mutilated or even murdered in wht constitutes appalling violations of their human rights... We must fundamentally challenge the culture of discrimination that allows violence to continue." (Secretary- General Ban Kimoon for the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women 25 November 2012).
