We believe that Generation Z will be the generation to come up with solutions for some of the pressing global issues including poverty, health, energy & education, conflict, wildlife & conservation, climate change, and imbalanced trade among others; That the decentralization of the responsibility of a better future and a more sustainable world will enable the Gen-Z to rise and solve these issues. We enable this by offering a platform for students to advocate on issues they care about, identify solutions and work within their means to bring about change in their immediate communities.

As part of this, the 2024 Impact Initiative serves as a platform for showcasing & recognising inspiring work being done by individuals and organisations to solve global problems and stand a chance at securing funding and support to accelerate the impact of their work.

Step 1 - Form your Team: 

You can participate as an individual or as a group of 2-5 students, all belonging to the same school. All entrants have to be registered as Delegates or be selected to serve as Assistant Director at HMUN India 2024

Step 2 - Pick an SDG: 

Once you decide on your team composition, pick any one of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and work on building a project around the chosen SDG. Your project can address more than 1 SDG as well. 

Step 3 - Think, Think & Implement: 

Once you decide on the project, keep building up the project in a way that benefits your local surroundings, like your community, school or any other public space. 

Step 4 - Tell us more! 

Once you visualize your project, it's ready to be showcased. Fill out the form below and upload the required video submission to officially register for the initiative! 

Step 5 - Time to get into the Shark Tank!

The top 15-20 projects will then be selected for a virtual round for a presentation about their project with the Team. Later, the top 8 projects from the submissions will be invited to present their project to a panel of judges at HMUN India.

Step 6 - The stage is yours! 

From the top 8 projects, the Top 4 will be invited to address and present their idea to the plenary of HMUN India 2024 and the final decision regarding funding/support will be announced based on a combination of the judges’ scores and the audience’s vote.
