Message from the Principal
Dear Delegates
"Believe in the power of your own voice. The more noise you make, the more accountability you demand from your leaders, the more our world will change for the better."- Al Gore. An Inconvenient Sequel- Truth to Power, a riveting documentary shows Al Gore's continuing mission to battle climate change. It is very relevant today, as you debate, confer, present position papers and pass resolutions on the critical issue of climate change.
The world’s tropical forests have suffered a near record tree loss in 2017. About 39 million acres of trees were lost in just one year-an area the size of Bangladesh. So far, the Antarctic was seen as relatively stable, but a new study indicates that climate change is affecting the polar region on a larger scale than previously believed. And that could have disastrous consequences for the world and the future generations.
Your theme cannot be more relevant. Our very lives depend on it. The vagaries of the weather are no more just that, rapidly growing Global Warming has altered the very climate of regions and brought the scourge of famine, drought and floods as a dark reality staring at us.
Data reveals that about 21 cities in India alone will lose their ground water reserves by 2020. Water wars are not a figment of imagination, they are real and here. We are on the precipice of depredation if we do not take immediate and tangible steps to reduce global warming.
We have declared our school as a polythene and one time use plastic free zone and you are the crusaders of this change. I am proud to see you evolve, grow and expand your minds. To sharpen your skills to argue, persuade, convince, even resort to dramatic speeches and theatrics to shake the world out of its reverie and display the political intent to do something about it.
The Faridabad School is proud to hold the Second Model United Nations Conference. The journey has been inspiring and stimulating, pushing the boundaries of thought and action.
"The Chinese expression for "crisis" consists of two characters side by side. The first is the symbol for "danger," the second the symbol for "opportunity.”- Al Gore
That is what Model United Nations stands for.
