OAS Committee Description

The Organization of American States (OAS) committee for juniors is a unique forum that allows
junior delegates in grades 6th to 7th to participate in discussions and activities about the
Americas. This committee was formed primarily to empower and educate debaters about the
numerous social, economic, political, and environmental challenges affecting the Americas
region. Junior participants can gain a better understanding of diplomacy, international
collaboration, and problem-solving abilities through this engaging conference. Furthermore, the
OAS junior committee promotes cross-cultural understanding and encourages youth to become
engaged global citizens who can contribute to the Americas' sustainable development and
peaceful coexistence. It is a place where young minds may express themselves, collaborate with
peers who have various opinions, and gain vital insights into the difficulties of Western
Hemisphere international relations.

 Climate change, characterized by sustained increases in temperatures, extreme weather events and alterations in precipitation patterns, casts a huge effect on agricultural systems around the world. The land we farm, the harvest cycles we have become accustomed to, now face unprecedented disruption. The fragility of these systems is manifested in the increasing difficulty of producing and distributing food effectively. This imbalance, exacerbated by climate instability, poses monumental challenges for global food security. In this scenario of uncertainty, food insecurity becomes a specter that looms over millions of people, especially in already vulnerable regions where agriculture is not only an economic activity, but a primary source of livelihood. The threat to the availability and affordability of nutritious foods becomes an imminent reality that directly affects the quality of life of entire communities. The intersection between climate change and food security becomes undeniable, demanding immediate responses and sustainable solutions. Addressing this complex relationship not only means facing the immediate impacts of climate change, but also building adaptation strategies that allow communities to resist and recover from new climate realities. A comprehensive approach is required that considers mitigating the effects of climate change, implementing sustainable agricultural practices and building resilient food systems capable of facing emerging challenges with strength.
