Committee Description

The United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation (UNSCEAR), operating under the UNEP and reporting directly to the UN General Assembly, focuses on addressing the risks associated with radiation and nuclear energy in conflict zones. Recent conflicts have brought nuclear and radiation-related issues to the forefront. The committee will work on developing new standards to improve radiation security and prevent nuclear debris and waste during crises. The focus will be on the peaceful use of nuclear energy, aiming to protect both populations and the environment in conflict-affected areas. Delegates will collaborate on creating strategies to ensure the safe and sustainable management of nuclear energy during modern crises.
