Commission for Science and Technology for Development
Single Delegate (Beginner)
The Commission on Science and Technology for Development (CSTD) is a subsidiary body of the United Nations Economic and Social Council responsible for advising the United Nations on issues at the intersection of science, technology, and development. It examines how advancements in fields such as information and communication technologies, innovation policy, and digital infrastructure can support sustainable development, particularly in developing countries. The CSTD also serves as a forum for discussing emerging technological trends and their socioeconomic impacts, providing policy recommendations to promote inclusive growth, bridge the digital divide, and ensure that technological progress benefits all member states.
Topic A: Harnessing Biotechnology for Sustainable Development
Topic B: Bridging the Global Digital Divide
Dear delegates,
Hi, everyone! My name is Sadie, I'm from Naples, Florida, and I'm a sophomore here at Stanford. I'm planning to double major in International Relations and Human Biology, on a pre-law track towards working in biotech policy. I've been doing MUN for the past eight years and have chaired for the past six. I am so excited to meet you all, engage in meaningful debate, and have a great committee!
