Under the Sea: Future Congress of the United States, 2100

This Committee focuses on the United States Senate in the year 2100 after cataclysmic climate events that caused the melting of the world's ice caps and a resulting rise in sea levels. This dramatic shift in both the climate and geography has caused a vast migration of Americans from coastal areas towards the more temperate interior of the continent to avoid further destruction by climate change. Predictably, new problems have arisen, such as cities seeing a dramatic increase in crime rates, a housing and food security crisis, as well as threats of secession from states who feel the reorganized federal government is no longer addressing their concerns. Delegates will have to work together to equitably allocate the government’s resources and fight to keep the country united, or if it is the senator’s prerogative, form a new country that more accurately reflects the state of the modern world. This committee will be structured as a General Assembly with crisis elements. Delegates will work to complete a resolution in blocs by the end of the conference but will have crisis updates and joint private directives.
