Second Committee of the United Nations General Assembly

Climate Justice & Gender-Responsive Governance

About This Committee

The Second Committee of the United Nations General Assembly — officially the Committee for Economic and Financial Questions — has shaped international development policy since the Organization's founding in 1945. Among the six Main Committees of the General Assembly, the Second Committee occupies a unique position: it is where economic sovereignty meets collective responsibility.

In the context of Model United Nations, UNGA2 offers delegates an unparalleled opportunity to grapple with the structural inequalities embedded in global economic systems. From climate finance to gender-responsive budgeting, the Second Committee's mandate bridges the gap between abstract policy frameworks and the lived realities of the world's most vulnerable populations.

This training series equips delegates with the historical context, data literacy, and rhetorical strategies necessary to draft compelling resolutions and navigate complex caucus dynamics in the Second Committee chamber.
