Asia-Pacific International Model United Nations


Deadline : June 20, 2012


APMUN Description

Asia-Pacific International MUN (APMUN) is established as the first and unique Regional Model among all the other existing university-level MUNs in Asia. It aims to gather students from the five continents offering a higher-level atrium of confrontation and debate between culturally-diverse leaders, with the UN building as backdrop. Therefore, APMUN represents the culmination of the efforts of our Institution to bring together a worldwide qualified student body.

APMUN arises from the experience by ASEAN Regional Center of Excellence on Millennium Development Goals (ARCMDG) in collaboration with the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT) and its 50-year academic experience of excellence.

AIT is headquartered in Bangkok, Thailand, and it is a quintessentially international institution of engineering and technology, environmental resources and development, and management, dedicated to world-class higher learning with an Asian perspective. AIT is the first and only Institute of higher learning of its type granted with an International Intergovernmental Organization status. Moreover, it has been designated by the United Nations Secretary-General H.E. Ban Ki-Moon as the permanent site of the world’s first Regional Centre of Excellence on the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), dedicated to the promotion and achievement of the MDGs in South-East Asia through education and training.

Asia-Pacific International MUN is an exclusive five-day simulation for university/college students hosted annually in Bangkok in collaboration with UN Regional Headquarters and various governmental institutions.

National Student Environmental Conference 2012




 “Green Campus Colaboration and Youth Movement to Support a Green Lifestyle”

LANDASAN PEMIKIRAN
Isu lingkungan menjadi topik hangat untuk dibicarakan saat ini. Setiap elemen masyarakat mulai menyadari bahwa Bumi memang tidak sedang dalam keadaan baik, harus melakukan tindakan untuk menyelamatkan Bumi kita bersama. Kata “hijau” atau “green” telah menjadi sebuah trend baru dalam setiap keseharian manusia sekarang ini. Aspek lingkungan pun menjadi salah satu acuan dasar dalam setiap proses pembangunan. Salah satu permasalahan lingkungan yang paling utama adalah Pemanasan Global (Global Warming), yang disebabkan oleh meningkatnya gas rumah kaca (karbon dioksida, metana, dan sebagainya) sehingga mengakibatkan suhu rata-rata bumi semakin meningkat. Gas rumah kaca ini berasal dari emisi pembakaran bahan bakar fosil, seperti kendaraan bermotor dan industri. Selain itu penebangan hutan yang semakin cepat semakin memperparah hal tersebut.. Perkembangan jaman sebanding dengan pekembangan teknologi dan pembangunan,yang memicu kerusakan lingkungan akibat tidak adanya keselarasan pembangunan dan pelaku perkembangan teknologi.
Seiring berkembangnya era, dimana pembangunan dan teknologi menjadi fokus utama. Namun juga, harus mempertimbangkan timbal balik terhadap lingkungan. Untuk kebutuhan masa depan dan dari segala bentuk perkembangan yang dibutuhkan manusia , tidak semena-mena  mengabaikan perbaikan dan keselarasan antara lingkungan dan pembangunan.Jika lingkungan tetap terjaga asri, maka dampak perbaikan terhadap pembangunan dalam segala sektor akan tertata dengan baik. Kerusakan terhadap lingkungan dan yang lainnya akan berkurang. Pada dasarnya hal yang paling menunjang dalam pembangunan adalah lingkungan yang terkondusif dan tetap terjaga baik agar pembangunan tidak hanya mengakibatkan kerusakan saja dan tidak ada tanggung jawab dalam pemanfaatannya.
Apa yang terjadi dengan bumi ini tentu saja tidak bisa dibiarkan begitu saja, harus melakukan tindakan nyata untuk mencari solusi dari permasalahan-permasalahan lingkungan tersebut. Hal ini tidak hanya menjadi tanggung jawab aktivis lingkungan saja, tapi semua elemen wajib berperan serta, mulai dari pemerintah, akademisi, masyarakat dan tentu saja pemuda.
