About Our MUN Community

Diverse group of students engaged in a MUN committee session, some standing to speak at the podium

The G20 (Group of Twenty) brings together the world’s major economies to discuss global financial stability, sustainable development, climate change, and international trade. In MUN, delegates simulate negotiations on pressing economic and geopolitical issues, aiming to build consensus and propose joint strategies.

👉 In MUN, this means debating economic reforms, drafting communiqués, presenting policy recommendations, and voting—all focused on strengthening global economic cooperation.

Formed in 1999, the G20 has become a leading forum for international economic coordination, representing around 85% of global GDP and two-thirds of the world’s population.

  • Quarterly conferences with different committee focus areas
