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 8–12 and undergraduates — in partnership with FLAME University & AFS India.
