You thought all the cards were dealt,
The table laid, the stakes all felt,
All secrets revealed.
But here's something shifting, unseen, unspelt,
Quietly slipping past the telling.
You thought the answers were clear,
The path already chosen,
The future clearly written.
But peep closely through the cracks,
Between the conflict and compromise,
Solutions in distant reach but urgent in need.
Amidst the guns, the fractures, the breaking seams,
Something steadier begins to rise.

Ladies and Gentlemen,
Presenting the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), the ninth committee to be simulated at Seth Anandram Jaipuria Model United Nations, 2026.

This May,
Let resilience eclipse the rhetoric.
This May,
Conceive. Concur. Convince.
