Thematic Focus for the 2026-27 CSUSB Model UN Program

The CSUSB Model United Nations Program focuses on a central theme each academic year. Examples of previous years' themes include human rights and conflict, gender equality and sustainability, and conflict and reconciliation. This theme is the basis for which country selection is made for each conference CSUSB is attending, and all preparation for the international NMUN conference and the NMUN-NYC conference is centered on this theme.

The 2026 CSUSB Model United Nations thematic focus is "Sustainable Futures: Governance, Resilience, and Global Action."

The 2026–2027 CSUSB Model United Nations Program explores how global frameworks and local action intersect to address the world’s most pressing challenges. Grounded in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), this theme invites students to examine the role of governance, innovation, and cooperation in advancing sustainability, resilience, and equity across diverse contexts.

Through this theme, participants will explore interconnected issues such as disaster risk reduction, sustainable development, energy efficiency, digital governance, education, and the protection of cultural and natural heritage. By bridging global policy with real-world application, students will develop the skills and perspectives needed to navigate and influence an increasingly complex and interdependent world.
