The VIBGYOR Group of Schools, one of India’s premier K-12 education networks, successfully hosted the 15th edition of its flagship event, VIBGYOR Model United Nations (VIBGYOR MUN), from June 25 to 28, 2025, at The Westin Mumbai Powai Lake. Marking a significant milestone, the Quindecennial Edition centred around the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 13: Climate Action, inspiring youth to confront one of the world’s most urgent challenges through diplomacy, leadership, and collaboration. The conference was inaugurated by Dr Vedprakash Mishra, a renowned academician and public health expert, who urged student delegates to become fearless advocates for climate resilience and global cooperation. With participation from over 700 students representing more than 41 schools across India and overseas, VIBGYOR MUN 2025 was a vibrant forum for dialogue, critical thinking, and solution-building. Across 11 sessions and seven dynamic committees, including COP30, SPECPOL, UNICEF, Security Council, and Lok Sabha, students addressed pressing topics such as equitable climate finance, disaster risk reduction, and balancing national interests with global environmental goals. Kavita Kerawalla, Vice-Chairperson, VIBGYOR Group of Schools, stated, “It was incredibly heartening to witness the passion and dedication shown by the students during the 15th VIBGYOR MUN. This year, it felt especially meaningful. The conversations around climate were not just informed — they were deeply personal. These students weren’t discussing abstract policies; they were standing up for their future and for a planet they genuinely care about. What moved me most was their ability to approach such a critical global issue with empathy, clarity, and conviction. It reminded us that real leadership doesn’t emerge from authority — it is born from awareness, courage, and the will to act even when the odds are overwhelming.”
