2025 Harvard Theme: Transitioning away from fossil fuel
The 2025 Harvard event focuses on one of the most divisive topics in international climate discussions focusing on how to end the production and consumption of fossil fuels, one of the largest sources of greenhouse emissions. It represents:
-
Existential Stakes: This issue highlights the stark contrast between nations most vulnerable to climate change impacts and those heavily reliant on fossil fuel production or consumption for their economies.
-
Key Objective: Negotiation teams will explore potential pathways to achieve a sustainable transition, acknowledging that addressing climate change effectively is only possible by reducing reliance on fossil fuels.
-
Core Challenge: Participants must navigate the complex distribution of costs and benefits, balancing power dynamics and international relations to develop innovative and equitable solutions.
-
Simulation Goal: The exercise emphasizes not just technical outcomes but also understanding the intricacies of global collaboration and conflict inherent in addressing climate change.
This challenge underscores the critical role AI can play in fostering data-driven strategies and ethical decision-making in tackling one of humanity’s most pressing challenges.
