Model G20 vs Model UN

Loved Model UN?
Model G20 is the next room.

If you know Model UN (MUN), here’s the honest comparison. A Model United Nations simulates the UN and debates resolutions. Model G20 simulates the G20, the forum of the world’s 21 leading economies, where delegates negotiate the real global agenda by consensus, the way world leaders actually do. Same love of diplomacy; a summit that runs closer to the real thing.

Model UN (MUN) Model G20
What you simulate The United Nations, the General Assembly and its committees The G20, the forum of the world’s 21 leading economies
What’s on the table Resolutions on broad global issues The real G20 agenda, economic stability, climate, trade, digital governance
How decisions are made Majority vote; permanent members hold a veto Consensus, a shared communiqué, no vote and no veto
Structure Committees and blocs Dual Sherpa & Finance tracks, lobbying, crisis rounds, communiqué drafting
The skill it builds Public speaking and debate Negotiation, alliance-building and consensus, the harder diplomatic craft
What you leave with A certificate and debate experience A published-quality policy white paper and a real network

Both are worth doing. Many of our delegates come to Model G20 after their first Model UN, ready for a room where the decisions move 85% of global GDP.

Why the G20, not the UN

The room where the economy is decided.

The UN sets norms; the G20 is where the world’s largest economies coordinate the money, trade and climate decisions that actually move markets. Simulating it teaches how consensus is really built, no majority to hide behind, no veto to fall back on.

85%of global GDP
75%of world trade
⅔of the world’s population

Step up from Model UN to Model G20.

An annual summit at FLAME University, Pune, for students in Grades 8 to 12 and undergraduates, in partnership with FLAME University & AFS India.
