In a world overshadowed by uncertainty, hope must do more than whisper—it must roar. At EMERGE-ZAMBIA, we believe in the transformative power of youth to lead us toward a future defined by peace, sustainability, and social justice.
Rooted in the inspiring ideals of the Future We Want and the groundbreaking resolutions from the Rio de Janeiro Conference of 2012, EMERGE-ZAMBIA serves as a beacon of action and possibility. Its mission: to fully engage young people in realizing the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), because the youth are not just our future—they are our only hope to rescue the planet.
Who We Are
EMERGE ZAMBIA MODEL UNITED NATIONS (emerge-zambia) is a non-profit organization committed to empowering young leaders and building stronger communities. At the heart of emerge-zambia lies the simulation of the United Nations, fostering diplomacy, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills. But we don't stop at simulations—our mission goes further.
We challenge our delegates and members to step out of the conference rooms and into their communities, engaging in transformative projects that address pressing local and global issues.
Our initiatives reflect a strong alignment with the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), focusing on practical solutions for a more equitable and sustainable world.
