islands in crisis

Islands in Crisis: The Caribbean Union, 2035 places delegates at the heart of a region on the brink of collapse. In this near-future scenario, the Caribbean Union has evolved into a powerful yet fragile regional body tasked with coordinating disaster response, economic recovery, migration policy, and security cooperation across the islands. But by 2035, climate change has accelerated beyond projections: Category 5 hurricanes hit with unprecedented frequency, entire communities are displaced by rising sea levels, and droughts destabilize food and water systems. Simultaneously, global powers vie for influence through investment, military aid, and strategic port access, turning the Caribbean into a geopolitical battleground. Economic inequality, political corruption, and clashing national interests threaten to fracture the Union at its most vulnerable moment.

Throughout this committee, delegates will confront crises that demand both regional collaboration and fierce defense of national priorities. They will negotiate emergency relief efforts, debate the future of the Caribbean Union’s political integration, and determine how to handle mass climate migration across and beyond the islands. Delegates must also navigate covert foreign interference, corporate exploitation of devastated economies, territorial disputes, and the difficult question of whether the Caribbean should align with global powers or assert strong regional autonomy. With every disaster, coup attempt, or international provocation, delegates will be forced to balance diplomatic strategy with rapid crisis response, ultimately shaping whether the Caribbean survives the coming decade united, divided, or transformed entirely.
