CREATE AND COLLABORATE (PAGE 5)

1. Research on the proceedings of the UN Genaral Assembly

According to the United Nation's website "The General Assembly (GA) is the main deliberative,
policymaking and representative organ of the UN. Decisions on important questions, such as those on
peace and security, admission of new members and budgetary matters, require a two-thirds majority.
Decisions on other questions are by simple majority."

2. Create a scenario wherein you will act as member-representatives of the UN General Assembly.

The General Assembly is the main deliberative, policymaking and representative organ of the United
Nations. Comprising all 193 Member States of the UN, it provides a unique forum for multilateral
discussion of international issues including peace and security.

3. in the plenary, present five priorities of action which the body would you want to recommend which
complete discussion/explaination for each.

 Respond to COVID-19
 Start an inclusive and sustainable economic recovery
 Make peace with nature
 Tackle poverty and inequality
 Reverse the assault on human rights

4. present your scenario in class.

The UN General Assembly (UNGA) is the main policy-making organ of the Organization. Comprising all
Member States, it provides a unique forum for multilateral discussion of the full spectrum of
international issues covered by the Charter of the United Nations. Each of the 193 Member States of the
United Nations has an equal vote.

he unfolding of the COVID-19 pandemic has demonstrated how the spread of misinformation, amplified
on social media and other digital platforms, is proving to be as much a threat to global public health as
the virus itself. Technology advancements and social media create opportunities to keep people safe,
informed and connected. However, the same tools also enable and amplify the current infodemic that
continues to undermine the global response and jeopardizes measures to control the pandemic.

Although young people are less at risk of severe disease from COVID-19, they are a key group in the
context of this pandemic and share in the collective responsibility to help us stop transmission. They are
also the most active online, interacting with an average number of 5 digital platforms (such as, Twitter,
TikTok, WeChat and Instagram) daily.

To better understand how young adults are engaging with technology during this global communication
crisis, an international study was conducted, covering approximately 23,500 respondents, aged 18-40
years, in 24 countries across five continents. This project was a collaboration between the World Health
Organization (WHO), Wunderman Thompson, the University of Melbourne and Pollfish. With data
collected from late October 2020 to early January 2021, the outcomes provide key insights on where
Gen Z and Millennials seek COVID-19 information, who they trust as credible sources, their awareness
and actions around false news, and what their concerns are. Some key insights uncovered include.

Science content is seen as shareworth

When asked what COVID-19 information (if any) they would likely post on social media, 43.9% of
respondents, both male and female, reported they would likely share “scientific” content on their social
media. This finding appears to buck the general trend on social media where funny, entertaining and
emotional content spread fastest.

Awareness of false news is high but so is apathy

More than half (59.1%) of Gen Z and Millennials surveyed are “very aware” of “fake news” surrounding
COVID-19 and can often spot it. However, the challenge is in recruiting them to actively counter it,
rather than letting it slide, with many (35.1%) just ignoring.

Gen Z and Millennials have multiple worries beyond getting sick

While it is often suggested that young adults are ‘too relaxed' and do not care about the crisis, this
notion is not reflected in the data, with over 90% of respondents were very concerned or somewhat
concerned about the risk of infection. Beyond getting sick themselves, the top concerns of respondents
(55.5%) was the risk of friends and family members contracting COVID-19, closely followed by the
economy crashing (53.8%).

WHO wants young people to be informed about COVID-19 information, navigate their digital world
safely, and make choices to not only protect their health but also the health of their families and
communities. These insights can help health organizations, governments, media, businesses,
educational institutions and others sharpen their health communication strategies. Ensuring policy
and recommendations are relevant to young people in a climate of misinformation, skepticism and fear.

communities in contrasting localities at home or abroad to raise awareness of diversity and global
issues.
