HEAD CHAIR INTRODUCTION - KOHSEI YASHIRO

 Hey everyone!!

My name is KOHSEI YASHIRO and I will be your head chair for the BMUN 71's United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP). I am very excited to be able to discuss some of the topics I am deeply passionate about. My vice chairs will be posting their introductions too so please check those out!

I am a 4th year majoring in Environmental Economics and Policy here at UC Berkeley. This is my second time chairing the UNEP committee albeit once online. I love learning about environmental problems, and climate change mitigation/adaptation. These two topics are very pressing and issues that we will inevitably be dealing with over generations. 

After graduation, I am planning to work in finance back in my home country, Japan, to hopefully work for ESG-related products. Climate change and the environment are no longer the problems of the future but rather problems of the present. Our generation will be responsible for not only saving future generations but the current generation. 

This conference will serve as a conclusion to my four years of BMUN and seven years of MUN and I am very pleased to have a passionate team here. Please reach out to unepbmunlxxi@bmun.org for any questions. 


Sincerely,

Kohsei

Topic A: Develop and enforce regulations : Governments can develop regulations to limit the use of single-use plastics and encourage the use of more eco-friendly alternatives. This can include banning plastic bags, implementing deposit-return schemes for plastic bottles, and regulating the use of microbeads in personal care products. Support research and development : Governments can fund research and development into new materials and technologies that can help reduce microplastic pollution. This can include supporting the development of biodegradable plastics, investing in wastewater treatment technologies, and e

VICE CHAIR INTRODUCTION - SAMEER AMEEN

Hello! My name is Sameer Ameen and I'm one of your vice-chairs. I'm a second-year intending to do a simultaneous degree in Society & Environment and Rhetoric. I founded the MUN club at my school in the middle of the pandemic and am very excited to be a part of BMUN and its community. I was born in Los Angeles to two immigrant parents from Bangladesh and have traveled to many countries around the world, witnessing firsthand the different cultures and political spheres discussed in MUN conferences. Outside of BMUN, I spend most of my time listening to music, going to the gym, hanging out with friends, and finding good food here in the Bay area.  UNEP is a special committee because it discusses the most prevalent issue in our global community today. The health of the environment decides the fate of our only habitable planet. I am excited to hear all the solutions you come up with!
